Nice! I like most of them, the only one that I was not a big fan of was the Long Island. The large spot in the center was a distraction to me. I do like the subtle toning on a lot of them. Being a classic commen set collector I appreciate the effort it takes to put together a good set...

Thanks for posting!

I have four classic commemoratives in my 7070 Type Set, but seeing your set may encourage "expansion".

"Very nice looking set with varying tone makes an eclectic collection."

ShadyDave · April 11, 2016 2:32AM

Congrats on completing a big set!

My favorites in order:

1. Roanoke

2. San Diego

3. Wisconsin

I like the overall look you have going. Do you have any plans on upgrading or swapping any out or is this the final product?

AUandAG · April 11, 2016 2:54AM

My favs:

Sir Walter

Texas

Missouri

Illinois

very nice indeed!

mariner67 · April 11, 2016 2:58AM

Nice set!
I am always partial to Ca and HI, can't help it.
Thanks for chance at giveaway!

lkeigwin · April 11, 2016 3:13AM

Great coins!

I think I like the Isabella you're selling on BST better. Love the Roanoke. And the Lincoln.

Suggestions: Get all the coins photographed, and make them consistent in size, cropping, background color, etc. Remove the Cincinnati image that doesn't belong to the coin (even if you own both; the image should be of the one listed).

Congrats on putting a nice set together!

Very nice set. My favorites would be, Texas, Gettysburg, Calif., Oregon. For me, these 4 have the best overall designs and appearance.

NotSure · April 11, 2016 3:50AM

I've started a set of these, while prices are 'down' (prices have been 'down' since I got into the hobby, so are they 'down', or is it a 'dead' series???). I'm in agreement with ElKevvo, in regard to the Long Island. Tab toning is a strange bird. I really like your CA...and while I prefer blast white, that Roanoke is really nice!!

johnny9434 · April 11, 2016 5:14AM

my favorites are
1) gettysberg
2)hawaii
3)york
you really have a nice set over all

cucamongacoin · April 11, 2016 6:20AM

Quite the accomplishment!

BillJones · April 11, 2016 6:43AM

It's nicer than my old commemorative set for sure. The Pan-Pac half dollar is really nice.

JJSingleton · April 11, 2016 6:46AM

Great set and congrats on your completion.

I've been putting together a commem type set now for about 15 years and am still 5 short of completion. Your taste is very similar to mine. I really like your Roanoke.

The Long Island has classic tab toning which is very much in demand. Tab toning screams originality as it can only be found on coins that remained in the original packaging for decades. Although a matter of taste, that Long Island would be welcome in my collection all day long.

jesbroken · April 11, 2016 6:50AM

Wow! I have seen several complete collections, but they were blast white, while still yet great, not my idea of the look that old a coin should have. I kinda messed up posting there, so I will iterate it here and hopefully won't screw it up. My favorites are the 9281 California, the 9288 Cleveland, the 9301 Columbian, the 9357 Pan Pac, and the 9371 San Diego.

Love the color. Many more would be favorites, but might as well list them all. I know this has been quite the undertaking and you deserve a Numismatic Accolade for your accomplishment.

Congrats,

Jim

Stuart · April 11, 2016 6:57AM

Very attractive set. -- I love the colorful toning on the 1935 San Diego Half Dollar.

CommemKing · April 11, 2016 7:10AM

I wish I had photos of them all. Many of my colorful gems have yet to be photoed.

cheezhed · April 11, 2016 7:31AM

Done.

OnWithTheHunt · April 11, 2016 7:44AM

Beautiful collection. My favorites are the Lincoln, Oregon and Roanoke. I've only got a half dozen early commems, including 4 in my 7070.

hchcoin · April 11, 2016 8:09AM

The reverse of the San Diego caught my eye. Love how the toning is circling the coin just like the design does.

Proofmorgan · April 11, 2016 8:41AM

Awesome Set! I love the Vancouver and the San Diego.

joeykoins · April 11, 2016 9:08AM

Beauuutiful set of coins! Nice grades as well. Thanks for the chance.-joey

Mark · April 11, 2016 9:49AM

It's my comment on 1/20/2016. And I stand by it!!! It's your Isabella, Columbian, and Roanoke that are the cream of a very nice crop. But, no need to put my name in the hat. I am already working on a commemorative set and would like to see your coin go to someone new who might feel inspired to start one!

Edit: Oh wait, I see you upgraded your Isabella. So let me switch to your Vancouver. That is a really pretty coin!

drfish · April 11, 2016 10:29AM

The San Diego and Pan Pac are my two favorites.

mannie gray · April 11, 2016 11:04AM

Eye candy for sure!

LOVING the San Diego (these are usually blast white)

LOVING the Delaware

Also digging the Long Island.....and the Hudson, not to mention the mellow yet beautiful PanPac.

Nice job overall, very impressive.

Pat yourself on the back.

GaCoinGuy · April 11, 2016 11:09AM

Love this set. There are a couple I'm not fond of the toning, but overall a very nicely put together set.

I especially love the Texas! Very clean coin with great luster.

CommemKing · April 11, 2016 11:35PM

Bump for Tuesday.

Outhaul · April 12, 2016 12:59AM

As a longtime classic commem guy, I can see you have quite the eye. Love the whole set, but that Izzie is really nice.

Cheers

Bob

ricko · April 12, 2016 3:05AM

You have assembled an excellent collection of commemoratives. Quite the accomplishment.

I have only a short set (personal focus), but have contemplated going for many more.

Thanks for sharing...Cheers, RickO

Barberian · April 12, 2016 3:32AM

Beautiful set! I would replace the untoned Norfolk, Texas, and Vermont with toners. The San Diego is georgeus!

halfhunter · April 12, 2016 5:47AM

Congrats on a really solid set.

Love the Roanoke and San Diego!
