I don't want this thread to go off on a tangent, but I believe he's a very positive asset for our wonderful hobby.
Steve, On the Main Coin Forum there is a topic that has a video where Hanson talks about his collection. If you have not seen it, you might enjoy the video. Edited by Slider23

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

@Slider23, thanks, but I watched most of it on that Symposium a week or two ago. I learned a lot about him and his collecting philosophy. I found it fascinating!

Ok thx @ns. I had seen some chatter elsewhere questioning whether the PCGS list and the book list were the same which is why I was asking. I'll check it out though and see what I can add to this thread. For sure it won't be very much.

Looks like I've got only two coins to contribute to this thread, both of which have been previously posted: 1909-S VBD Cent (ANACS EF details; net F12)   1916-D Dime (PCGS G6)   Most of the other 98 entries are well outside my current collecting interest (not to mention purse size), but I could see myself picking up a Fugio cent at some point. If I do, then I'll be sure to post it here. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

I checked the list and as posted above the only 2 I have are the 1909 S VDB and 16 D, all others are outside my current spending patterns.

@Spence  @hfjacinto - I'd take the over on 2 in terms of how many on the list you end up with  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better.
