Just added today is this simply amazing complete classic commemorative set. Even if you do not like commemoratives, this set is worth a view. I wonder who is the collector behind it.



Anyway, here is the set: Set

    You are not kidding. Holy cow! In quick glance, the Isabella, Lincoln, and Columbian are totally amazing. I have not had a chance to click on all of them so I am sure my list will grow.

    The run of 38 Boone's, Maine, Deleware and Antietam are absolutely stunning.

    Some of the other coins in the collection are of questionable quality with respect to the absolute Meese he has.

    Amazing. I don't know how you would even find these coins, let alone afford them. Makes my set look childish.

    I had the pleasure of meeting this collector at Larry Shepherds Summer ANA Commem class. At the time this collector " only" had the number 1 set at NGC and I had the pleasure of viewing it in it's entirely. He also has a sick collection of related exonumia that is equally impressive. He's pretty private so I hesitate to give a name.

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    WOW - not only are the coins beautifully toned - just look at the pops!

    Awesome 144 piece set, which is so hard to complete at this level of quality. Always admired his 50 piece set.

    I'm not in love with the look in all cases, but I sure like that incredible VT and the Pan-Pac, among others.

    Mind... Blown... Excuse me while I pick my jaw off the floor. I figured after the first few he would be the one to own THE Oregon Trail commem. That's just an awesome collection. Thanks for posting!

    Wowzers. I don't collect these- never have and never will. But, man, I can really appreciate those pieces. Very cool to just know that they exist.

    Those coins are amazing and the set is incredible.

    A fair number of those pieces are well-known "trophies" in the commem world.

    Awesome set, I remember seeing the Elgin in 68+ in hand before it sold at FUN a few years ago, the coin is a monster.

    Not with this set. Mark helped with the former #1 set.



    This collector uses a dealer out of Vegas ( forget his name) David Schweitz, and Larry Shepherd that I know of.

    The Registry is definitely worth a close and lingering look sometimes. I keep hearing there are better sets out there that never afford public view like the Registry does, but it's hard to imagine there's a better set of Commems around.

    You have be in the right place, at the right time with a big checkbook, or you have to have a pipeline with a couple of major dealers who will supply you with the coins. Still it can take years.

    Still I would not down grade you holdings. You should be proud of what you have. I know of many collections that are better than mine, and many people who have far greater funds available that I have. It's just a fact of life. Enjoy what you have and admire what others have.

    Perhaps the nicest collection of anything I've ever seen!

    I wasn't fully cognizant of the fact that the grade of MS68+ was ever assigned!

    I saw the first 68+ and I thought WOW, then I saw another, and another, and another!

    SHAZAM!!

    No bargain basement coins here. That was well worth the time to look at all.

    Exactly how this was done plus a few private treaties along the way. Horse swapping too.
