Anyone got $1,995,000 I could borrow?

I know most of you have probably seen this before, but I just have to pile in and say WOW! I am not a big commemorative fan, but many of these coins are absolutely drool worthy. I wonder, in todays market, if they could piece this out at a big auction house and make a killing.

    Yea, they're pretty.....
    I have to say, if I were looking at a pile of almost 20 thousand C notes and these coins, I'm going to have to go with the pile of green......

    I would only prefer colorful tarnish on coins if I were selling them. There is an incredible profit margin in environmental damage on coins. Cheers, RickO

    That is a beautiful set, and a tremendous accomplishment.

    That is a beautiful set. I'm not into commemoratives but I can appreciate the work that went into it.

    I don't really understand who will be the buyer for the intact set though. You spend $2M and you get the #2 slot. The #1 set appears to be essentially unimprovable so you will never move up (unless #1 retires). There's certainly no feeling of accomplishment in just buying a complete set.

    Sorry, you never paid me back that other million you borrowed last year.
