And Eliasberg had a network of dealers locating those ultrararities for him as well. I do think that if someone wanted to put the money toward it it could be done. Report this Post to the Staff
magicalmke Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 07/20/2013 12:09 pm Yeah, with the money one could definitely get very close. The uniques and the ones that have only 1 or 2 in private hands would be the problem. This year alone most of the big rarities were sold... Report this Post to the Staff
Pheroow Valued Member United Arab Emirates 283 Posts	Posted 07/23/2013 02:17 am Wow I surely wish to own even a quarter of that collection. For US coins, I only have common silver ones and wheaties. Report this Post to the Staff

Even if you couldn't find a dozen or so of the ultra rare it would still be quite an accomplishment. Yep a large team of very discreet helpers to come close to doing this. Once word got out in the coin dealer community that there was someone trying to do this, the ultra rare pieces would go up so fast it would make our heads spin. Especially if the collection was also going for top quality coins too. Most buyers of the ultra rarities remain anonymous today and make their purchases through dealers, agents or friends.

GoldenChest Pillar of the Community United States 814 Posts	Posted 07/27/2013 10:30 am So I wonder who has the most complete collection right now? If one had say a billion dollar budget, even the museum's would part with their ultra-rarities. Hey CCF should try to get Bill Gates to sponsor a complete collection and we could be the workforce of experts hunting for the missing pieces. Report this Post to the Staff
