Yes, all the 21's are FSB. I suspect the worst one I'll have trouble finding is the 42D/41 with FSB. Just got to keep looking and make this a completed set someday of ALL FSB's. |

This just came in mind...
Carl,
With the value of this set, I wonder what kind of insurance one would have? This set with all FSB once completed, the estimated figure is in the 6 figures. I am guessing between $200k - $300k, or perhaps even more if some grades higher, knowing you just collect and keeps upgrading as time goes by, you don't even consider selling any of it, but I think is a cost of concern anyone of us if our collection get into that stage.
Maybe it would be a good discussion in another topic...or we have venture into this already before, but again seeing how valuable this set is, my light bulb just came on.

The reason is in order to insure them, they would have to be presented to the insurance agency. From there all personal information goes into their computers. Now almost public knowledge since not everyone working in an insurance company will be there for ever. Safe deposit box is my present insurance. |

Yeah I'm actually part owner of an insurance agency and any of my clients that have valuables such as these, that aren't worn (jewelry) or displayed (fine art)I tell them to get a safety deposit box. Keeps their privacy intact, plus more secure than dealing with an adjuster.

That's crazy beautiful. I've been working on an AU set and finding any of the early dates in that grade is tough!
Did you crack all of yours out of slabs or are some of them raw?

All the ones that were in slabs I've kept the little info tags and taped them to a sheet of paper at the front of the set. And the worst part of all this is after moving coins from set #1 to #2, #2 to #3, etc. I now have 12 Albums full. AND set #2 is catching up with #1 for all high grades and FSB's. Just can't stop. |

I would love to take a gander at the 45 you have in there. That coin in 65 FB is worth quite a bit of coin by itself.
