    These pieces are likely going for prices that very few collectors can afford, even one piece. Beautiful coins, but way out of my league to own.

    I agree! Like Morgans maybe.I'm really having trouble trying to figure out the market on these coins,particularly in higher grades in PL.

    It was kind of at the point where upgrading was a bit difficult.

    Do your best to avoid circular arguments, as it will help you reason better, because better reasoning is often a result of avoiding circular arguments.

    The number of pop 1/0 coins in that set was outrageous. Anyone will be hard pressed to duplicate that unless they jump on a lot of these coins. Once in a decade chance for the deep pockets Commemorative collectors.

    What a fantastic group of commems put together by Bruce and Pinnacle.

    Some definite eye candy in that set.

    wow! congrats on the sale of that awesome set!

    would have been cool to see what some of those would bring at auction though!!! seems like they were sold to Pinnacle and then resold before lots of potential buyers even knew about these coins being available.

    Bruce has been a fun guy to talk to behind the scenes and to talk commemorative coinage with the few times I've interacted with him on these forums. I am curious as to whether or not, Mr. Scher, you plan on collecting and if so, which direction are you headed in?

    Your set has always brought lots of pleasure and thank you for having kept it open to public eye via the Registry and of course, most of the top coins on CoinFacts were yours. (but not no more image)

    Good luck on whatever you plan to do!!!
