  Elite is an appropriate moniker for this set and as a handle for the collector who assembled same.

  An amazing set of coins.

  Amazing group of coins!

  But I'm curious about something: If no coin is shown next to a listed coin, does that mean that he doesn't have it? If so, I'm surprised at a few of the missing ones, which are pretty easy to get in high grades (assuming one has lots of money): 1955 DDO Lincoln cent; 1861-O Confederate issue half dollar; 1918/7-D buffalo nickel.

  I do have seven of the listed coins, including the three I'm surprised aren't shown in his set; but he has MANY individual coins worth more than my entire collection (and none of the ones I have is in the same league as his copy).

  Remarkable!

  Yes, some of the less rare coins are not in the set yet.
  The reason is explained on page 3 of the linked thread:

  If the coin is super rare, like only 10 in existent, I'm not super selective and would buy a low grade if it comes up. If it's a pretty common coin and shows up often, I will be more selective and only buy high grades and with CAC sticker. Either way, I will look into upgrading the coin if a better one shows up. I have upgraded quite a few 100g coins over the past years.

  I would love to see the coins displayed at a major show.

  Reviewing that thread again was an dumbfounding experience!

  It’s an amazing set. I read his posts on Mycollect.com and daydream about having a bigger budget. 😂
