What sets under 100K in value could not, in the desired grades, be completed in a year?
Andy, putting 100K on the table, do you think you can buy 80% completion of calfracs period one octogonal dollar set in a year? 80% completion based on PCGS price guide is under $80K at this moment
I don't know, but that sounds like a good challenge! Funny thing is that if I were to do it for myself, it would have to be raw. The one piece I have in my collection has a big cud, and a certain unnamed TPG insisted, even on review, that the coin was damaged. At that point, I promised myself that I would never do that set in slabs, just on general principle.
It is more than a challenge. 3 out of 35 are unique and 4 others are R8 (2 to 3 known). I don't even know who can locate all the remaining 28 in 10 years unless a major collection to be sold in the next 10 years. Don't forget that 12 out of 28 are less than 18 known each.
Regarding to buy them in raw condition, I only know one set left in raw, and all other major collections are in slabs. Of course, you can ask owners to crack them out before you buy any but I don't know anyone would do it

A mintmark set would be easy. A date/MM set would be a bit harder.
