September 2, 2013, Irvine, Calif. – GreatCollections is pleased to announce the sale of the Young Collection of Classic Silver Commemoratives, the current #1 Registry Set at PCGS for the series.
"Over the past five years, Bruce Young carefully selected each of the 144 coins in his set, earning him several PCGS Set Registry awards. Many coins are the finest graded by PCGS and are rarely offered on the market," said Ian Russell, President/founder of GreatCollections.

On this series it would have been nice if these had also been listed in proper order instead of having to play cat & mouse just to find certain designs in proper dated order.
Good luck on the sale!

Also - to add:
> Your site needs a "move to the next or previous lot" button to click instead of going back and forth on nearly 150 coins.
One way around this is to go to the main page for the Young Commems and click the "Shift" button while clicking the link. It will open the page in a new window and preserves the listing of the Young Collection.
> On this series it would have been nice if these had also been listed in proper order instead of having to play cat & mouse just to find certain designs in proper dated order.
The coins are in order for each Sunday. We split the coins up, 36 each Sunday in October. So the 36 ending today are in Red Book order.
