There is nothing like receiving that last coin/round you need to make your set complete. This has been a pretty challenging set to put together. There are some really tough dates to find much less in BU condition. Anyway... here it is.

It is complete until December 31st!

I assume that you plan to get the next 2 years to fill that last page, but will you keep added years beyond 2020?

John...I doubt I will pursue the proofs. The bullion version cost me enough!

Oriole...I most definitely plan on adding the next two years. After that...I am not sure yet.

That set is beautiful! I always enjoy seeing someone's hard-earned and well-deserved successful album completion. I know it took you a lot of work. Awesome!

Thanks for sharing!

Very nice set! Congratulations, that is quite an accomplishment. You should sell it to me and start another. Sort of kidding.

I collect Libertads (exclusively actually)-- so I know that the set is tough. Although it is always hard to tell with pictures-- those coins look excellent. Those early years are very tough to get in nice grades that are not scuffed up.

I know what you mean on the proof set. An NGC PF69 1998 proof would set you back $2500+. PF69 grades for 1996, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001 are all probably $500+ each. And the 1988, 1995, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 are all probably $250+. I have been working on a proof set for almost 2 years and am still not finished (but getting closer).

On your bu set in the pictures:

What was the last year you filled? What did you find (other than 1998) to be your most expensive coin? What was your hardest coin to find in the nice grade?

Crazy glue... The 1996 was the last one for me. This was the hardest to find without issues and within a normal price range for this year. I ended up finding one on ebay right after it was listed. NGC graded it MS67 and it looked great. I only paid $55 for it. It was worth the wait.

The 1998 was pricey but I feel like I did okay paying $150 for it. I have seen them sell for a lot more than that.You can't tell from the pictures but I would say atleast 90% are MS67 or better with just a few being a minimum of MS65.

Libertads are one of the nicest looking pieces of silver out on the market in my opinion.
