Not Mint to Be Valued Member United States 469 Posts	Posted 02/27/2013 2:45 pm I just downgraded my "Not Mint to Be" set with an AG03 35 San Diego. I also added 4 new ones to my "Gross" 144 set. 35-D Texas, 35-D Arkansas & 36-S Boone all in AU55. Also a 53-S GWC in XF45. I only need 62 to finish that set. Any ideas as to how long that will take. Also added a G04 Lafayette to that grading set which gives it the 1-2-3-4. Report this Post to the Staff

Doug58s Pillar of the Community United States 899 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 06:59 am Ok... that is one of the coolest sets I've seen. Thanks for the link Kelly! I am impressed, having just started to collect these coins, I never realized how much competition there would be for low ball halves. It seems like you find one, and it is a bidding frenzy. (which I usually lose because I can't bring myself to pay more for these than I would for a perfect coin). Report this Post to the Staff
harrison2 Pillar of the Community Mexico 1304 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 09:43 am Kelly, thanks for posting that link! Looks like there are only a few downgrades left before he has the worst set there could ever be! Good going! Report this Post to the Staff
commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12267 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 5:02 pm Great stuff NMTB! Truly the work of a dedicated collector. Someday, I hope to find a Roanoke in VF/XF that I like. I think it would be nice to exhibit a circulated example of my "local" commemorative alongside my mint state example. No current plans to pursue anything beyond that, however, no matter how much prodding I get from nickelsearcher. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15416 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 7:18 pm LOL commens ... we all remain inspired by your informative and educated posts ... perhaps someday we can encourage you to tackle the challenge of a circulated set. This thread is not complete without a mention of NMTB dedicated efforts to acquire the entire 144-coin classic silver commemorative set in honest circulated collection. The world-wide community of circulated USA commemorative collectors is a small but tight nit group of folks ... I commend NMTB efforts to move beyond his already best in the world type set and acknowledge his honest effort to achieve the impossible ... Check out his 144-coin set progress .. amazing to me as a dedicated collector working diligently to complete the basic type set ... http://www.pcgs.com/SetRegistry/pub...s=31697&ac=1 I am proud to be his collecting friend ... and commend to all his personal collecting efforts to overcome the market challenges of finding these coins. David Edited for splngeing Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Edited by nickelsearcher 02/28/2013 7:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff
two_tonevf35 Pillar of the Community United States 719 Posts	Posted 03/15/2013 11:20 pm Only 62 left, Bob, would you ever have thought you could make it that deep into the 144? At the rate of one per year, you should be able to finish it...and imho, would be one of the most difficult sets of classic coin sets to complete, if not the MOST difficult! Keep on searchin'!!

Not Mint to Be Valued Member United States 469 Posts	Posted 03/19/2013 10:28 pm And when this Pilgrim was an NGC P01 he only wanted $500 for it. Report this Post to the Staff
chesterb Pillar of the Community United States 1261 Posts	Posted 03/20/2013 09:10 am Whoa! I didn't notice the price they were asking. I was focused on the coin itself. That's outrageous! Report this Post to the Staff
Not Mint to Be Valued Member United States 469 Posts	Posted 11/29/2015 9:48 pm Just added an AU58 1935-S Texas to the Gross Set (144). Now I only need 51 to complete. :) Report this Post to the Staff
