DRG now has finest possible SBA Set

With all the talk of the 81S, I just looked at the pops and the 99P has doubled in MS68 (from 2 to 4). Sure enough, one of them went into this collection. So, did the good doctor make this one, or did someone else?

(I am sure his bounty on the first MS67 81S still holds)

Truely awesome set of SBAs. Congrats DRG. Link to his set.

When Dr. Golan posted about finishing the highest graded set (prior to MS-68 99-P's being made), I remember him stating that a majority, if not all, of the pieces, he made himself. Even greater accomplishment.

Thanks Guys!

I have graded many of my coins, but I am sorry to say I still have not made a MS68 SBA$. Now I have replaced one of my own 1999P MS67's with a MS68. It is a beauty. After looking through about 5,000 raw 99P's I gave in and bought one in MS68. I have a few at PCGS right now, we'll see what they have to say.
As for the POP of 4. I am not sure what is going on at PCGS. I know there are at least 2. The POP went to 3 last week then fell back to 2, and now its at 4. Maybe it will stay there. I have seen this from PCGS before. The POP on the 1981S MS67 went to 1 once only to go back to 0 a few days later. Does anyone know why this happens?
I am also interested in the POP of the 1980S MS67. It has been stable at 60 for a year or so and now has bumped to 64. I wonder if this is real or not.

I just checked it out.....very, very nice. This seems to be one of the few sets that matches the "highest Possible" rating.
