I’ve climbed into the 70’s nice job!!!

coinbuf · June 29, 2019 7:46AM

No #1 sets for me but congrats to all the winners.

golden · June 29, 2019 7:47AM

I was sweating it out ,but I maintained #1 in 3 sets again.

DIMEMAN · June 29, 2019 8:54AM

I use to have a bunch of #1's until Hanson came along. Now I have 2 and a bunch of #2 and #3 and #4's. Here is my pride and joy #1. I actually have 2 more varieties to add but they are not back from PCGS yet and I don't enter coins until I have them in hand.

My basic Washington quarter set 1932-1964 is now the number 1 set. Don’t know how to link with I Pad . Don’t know how long it will stay there with Hansen willing to pay 300k for common top pops.

Here is a link to his BEAUTIFUL Washie Set!

I just added a coin to my set this month that brings the set to 123/123 coins and #1 for Capped Bust Half Dimes by Logan and McCloskey Numbers, Circulation Strikes. Pics for all of them posted in the set too, though for a handful there are technical glitches that require you to click "view more"

I like how it rated at 58

This is the finest Canadian 1937 Mirror set. All OGH and Pittman Provenance.
I will not be doing the Matte set

This one is a number one set. ...at PCGS .

If I crossed all of my NGC sets ( over 100 coins ) to PCGS it would be a monster PCGS set.
However, for now I am keeping my Cap & Ray coins in their NGC holders.....waiting on PCGS crossover special!

how long did that set take to put together the way you wanted it? I assume it wasn't just a matter of grades, but also a matter of eye appeal...since those coins are outstanding!

Thanks for the question... it’s taken me about 5 years and I still have a few upgrades to make. The 2R and 8R will be upgraded one day. The 1/2R and 4R are unimproveable while I have a 1R in 66 which I like less than my 1R in 65. One day the 65 will be a 66 as it should be and it will be in the set. Bought it for $100 in Germany and worth thousands now.

Great accomplishment man. This is way more impressive to me than those 2 sets of Mercury Dimes fighting each other paying 350K for common date coins.

This set of Half Dimes is just mind boggling. GREAT JOB!!

that 2R is my favorite! I really like the way it toned. Aren't you working on another set along the lines of foreign coins which circulated in early America? I recall you helped get that established on the Registry .

Thanks, DM! I had a thought as I was driving today with those dimes in mind. I thought how odd it was that one of those dimes had more "value" than my entire set, yet I wouldn't trade the entire set for one of those dimes. For $350,000, that's a different conclusion

If I had the choice of your Half Dime set or BOTH of those Dimes...…..I would take your set in a heartbeat!

Barndog · June 29, 2019 5:46PM

LOL, of course we both would! Besides, what are we doing to do with $350,000? Lobster for dinner and a chauffeur? That's no fun...

I started the "World Coins in Early Americas" set with PCGS. I'm sure I could have finished that set already but I have been waiting for a few special pieces with real ties to Colonial America.

For example, I could add a French Ecu any day but I am looking for a 1725-H (New Rochelle) which was the most prevelant example recovered from the Le Chameau shipwreck off the coast of Nova Scotia. My L d'Or is ex. JJF and is the finest example coming from that shipwreck.

Similarly on the other pieces I have waited, I am going to add a 1776 dated Guineas and Ducat and the 1E to 2E's are in my primary focus area of Latin American type and I just haven't found a nice enough piece to add to that set yet.

Here is that set: https://pcgs.com/setregistry/multi-country/multi-country-type-sets/world-coins-circulating-early-america-type-set-circulation-strikes-1575-1826/publishedset/148684

very nice. There is always a temptation to add a coin to a set just to add it to the set and fill a hole. Glad to see you are holding out for special examples. Makes the process and end state more rewarding.

I am one of those that will "fill" a hole with a lower grade coin until a better one comes along. Especially if it is an extremely hard coin to find.

I agree Lance.....I also wouldn't buy a 58 or 58+ if I had a 55 I liked better.

golden · July 1, 2019 9:20AM

I probably pass on 80% of the 58+ coins that I see.
