Time for ... obscure claims to Registry Set fame

RGL · November 11, 2003 12:22PM

There are sure to be plenty out there. An oddity that allows you to lay some small claim to numismatic fame. Don't be shy, provide examples and links to your set that distinguish it from the rest -- even the all-time finest -- for whatever reason!

For example, while only ranked No. 7, I have the only 1967 SMS Registry Set with two DCAMS.

Please delight us with your odd claims to fame ...

Here's an obscure one for ya.

Type set

That's the spirit! That's what I'm talking about! Love the Canadians. I just have a few more coins to complete my Canadian Five-Cents (non-slabbed) set ...

Well, I have two sets in the top 10 here. Of course, at this point, that ain't saying much.

A 20-percent claim on the Top Ten certainly qualifies, Russ .. A 70.00 is very much something to admire. Next?

I have the only complete 1959 Proof Set with a DCAM coin in it. Link

Well this one is in an obscure collecting area:

CA gold

It really has no claim to fame as there are better and more complete sets. However it is as obscure as I get and I wanted to reply

Here is an all time, #1 finest Registry set I own

1907 proof set

Of course it is the only set registered....

Randy,

Of course if I really wanted to brag, I could mention that the Kennedy short sets were my suggestion.

It's just me, Louie Eliasberg and Dr. Thaine in this set

This thread, as some around here suggest, is quickly becoming 100 percent excellent. What a neat array of coins and Sets that many of us likely did not know even existed! What a wonderful hobby in which we can lay claim to some special expertise and coins!

It's a blessing and a curse on the darkside UK registry.

My one and only registry set with no chance of being 100% complete.

I have a set of Walkers registered under "Wheats Walkers" (1933-1947 Long/Short set). It was ranked 2nd, or 3rd all time finest last time I looked.....I don't know how to link it though!

RGL · November 11, 2003 1:24PM

A LINK for Puff"s great set ...

Thanks RGL!

I will learn how to do that one of these days!

I have the #2 all time finest 1912 proof set with one coin

Fairlaneman · November 11, 2003 2:18PM

Mine is really obscure....I deleted it two or three days ago.

I have the #2 all time finest 1912 proof set with one coin

Hmmm I should see what I can do with my two PR65 BN Lincolns

edited to add: I now have the all-time finest 1914 Proof Set! 1914 And since I did it with only a brown 65 Matte Proof Lincoln, it will be short lived

foodude · November 11, 2003 3:09PM
