What no comments? Is this too boring?
Thanks

You should provide a link - people aren't going to bother putting the effort into finding it.
I don't mind doing a little leg work
Interesting read and the set shows great thought!

Nice set! Congrats on completing it.
One note on your historical comments: Four presidents have been assassinated: Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, and Kennedy.
You also state that some presidents were elected once, some twice and one four times... true, but of course there is one more bucket: several presidents were not elected President at all.
All 70. Wow. That is a lot of gold.
I made a few adjustments in light of some of the recommendations.
Thanks to all and keep the comments flowing.

Any more comments?

Sure.
I enjoyed browsing.
Very impressive set and an excellent use of the Showcase.

Nice looking set!
For your next effort, you might think about my some classic coins that are a piece of history.
If you like gold, maybe a piece or pieces from a branch mint like Carson City or Dahlonega. Maybe Spanish colonial gold that circulated in early America.
There are many possibilities, limited only by your imagination (and wallet).
Folks,
Thanks for your comments.
I am two more history concepts that will likely need multi-part albums because the showcase limit the number of words:
1. Two albums (part 1 and part 2) for African Americans & Commemorative Coins
2. Four albums (parts 1-4) of America's Military Events & Leaders
Again, I appreciate the comments
@Casabrown - As I said before, really nice set. Takes a long time to put together this in all 70DC and I like how you are making it educational. Also, wanted to let you know that I recognized your Set Registry user name and must say that I've been a big fan of your #1-rated 1936-present Proof Set for a long time. Congrats on all of your numismatic achievements!
Thank you so much.
Just added a few more questions and modified the design. Please see and offer comments.
Thanks

Very cool!
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
Thanks
This is a very attractive presentation of what I would otherwise have considered to be a boring series. I like it! If this were a registry set category, you certainly would have a lock on First Place.

Great set of gold!
Thank you
I like them.
Thank so much; any suggestions for improving?

Any suggestions
I looked at all of your showcases and they are quite something.
In your presidential set with Spouses, you have just the proofs. But no where in any of the 4 sets do you have the Spousal brass medals they made for each First Lady. The are Unc. and you can get some of the earlier ones in 69RD. They are about 1 and 1/4 inches across, so they are big coins. They made them for collectors who couldn't afford the Gold Spousal coins.
Later, Paul.
Good points.
I choose to focus only on proofs and mostly on circulating coins with a few commemorative coins. Thanks for your suggestions.
