Great set.

Sort of wonder what career I missed that would enable me to drop $30-60K on a new coin each week to work toward such a nice goal of a set? 🤔😁😳

I have temporarily closed this collection. At lease one party has been bidding against me and trying to flip coins to me. I will not buy these coins. I will post upgrades but not new coins added for a while. Sorry.

Makes sense. Too bad so many have to wreck things for others. Good luck building and hope to see the coins in the future.

ElmerFusterpuck · July 22, 2021 10:06AM

I just completed my Walker short set in 66 and still ended up at #40, Then I see your set and quietly head for the exits.

Seriously, that's one hell of a set. Congrats!!!

pmh1nic · July 22, 2021 10:06AM

Wow, amazing collection. Do you know where the coins you are seeking are currently located. Are there any where the location is unknown (other than Hansen)?

A lot of $20s have been come out of Europe in hoards, and I have seen the price dropping on better dates like the 90s in 63, etc.. A few late dates "D" mints in high grade/cac can be a challenge.

So they're not bidding to build just bidding to make life more difficult for you...smh. Hopefully they'll get tired of the game and move on.

I recently reviewed the Eliasburg set and the rating assigned is clearly wrong for a set not including proofs. Many of the coins listed are proofs with assigned MS grades. PCGS should really correct this inaccuracy.

People ask me why I dont post or put up coins on the registry. This is one of the reasons why. Glad you wont buy any of these coins from this individual.

No Headlights · September 30, 2021 5:33AM

Nice set! Good luck with your search. The hunt is half the fun!!

logger7 · September 30, 2021 7:02AM

What are you seeing on your $20s that have passed cac criteria? Originality, eye appeal or a coin that is free from problems? I know JA really likes the $20 gold series.

TheRaven · September 30, 2021 8:37AM

Beautiful collection that many of us would love to try but simply can't.
