    That is a really impressive group of quality commems. The Isabella is breathtaking. I am here more to comment how nice they are, than just to enter. Great set

    Edit to say:
    I like the color direction this II set is taking. Seems more exciting than the retired set, to me.

    Where do I start? I've never seen an online collection before; so I can't compare your collections to anyone else's. With that, I am amazed at the amount of work you put into the collection. Not just the gathering of the coins, but the presentation; the ability to click on a single coin and view a tremendous amount of detail (including pics) of that coin, is what amazes me. As to the coins themselves - an outstanding collection of high graded commemoratives. Embarrassingly, The only slabbed commemorative I have is the Texas one. Clicking on yours, revealed a whole bunch of neat info. Well done.

    Very nice set. I commented on the amazing colors on your 1892 Columbian. A Pilgrim commem is on my short list, and maybe an upgrade of my Oregon Trail.

    Lots of really nice commemoratives there! Keep it up. Your retired set was pretty special as well. Looks like you spend time looking at many coins and are patient enough to buy the right ones!

    I am a HUGE fan of early US commemorative and I would cut off my left arm for the Roanoake you have in your set, it is absolutely stunning! How long have you been working on the set?

    EDIT: I commented on your registry set but my username isn't popping up, no idea why. Mine is the one about your Roanoake

    It’s a beautiful set and I’m guessing you’ve learned some valuable lessons from your first set to make building this one even more rewarding!
    Classic Commemoratives are a great series to collect due to all the different designs, the history behind many, and even some of the controversy.

    You've got a nice set going there. I really like the look of the Columbian, Roanoke, and BTW. The Isabella is AWESOME, but seems to look out-of-place with its darker toning.

    The first set took me 8 years. Im guessing the current set will take longer. I see my mistakes on the first set and hope to improve, which I think I have so far.

    OMG, 8 years? What an example of great patience and endurance. If you could place a price on your first set, what do you think? Just curious.
    One more thing...I admire your Avatar (username). It certainly fits you. LOL

    I sold my first set for a substantial loss. I had to sell for financial reasons. The market was and has been way down on these for years. Hard to make any profit. I hope to keep this new set for my lifetime. I feel my new set is starting much better than my first. Thank for the interest.

    Very nice! This is what collecting is all about, finding coins that are similar in quality and look. Naturally toned coins are so much more interesting than boring white.
    Great eye appeal.

    Beautiful set. Congratulations. When completed and all toned similarly it will be the most beautiful collection of Commems I have been privileged to view. Thanks for sharing and good luck. I built an album for Mike(MFH) some years back and his, while complete, was without toning, white, white, white. I love your retired set also, but your new set is fantastic.
