It's ALMOST easy to do about half the set and MOST are cheap. Especially if you take the time to hunt. If they did a sample, then they did 50 or 100 and they are out there. Plus, your set, your rules... For example, for a while, I had an ICG Arizona Charlie's poker chip as my NV sample. Then there the ones nobody has ever seen or are so rare. There is still some hope with the ATB states to come. Fingers crossed. And it helps that *the* expert is a friend who occasionally emails me "don't you need..." Even so, I've found some that weren't listed as samples (riding the exercise bike checking ebay listings passes the time). Hey, I'm crazy.

I've been a busy man lately...the whited out coins due to too much light are a 1921-D Morgan (R6 VAM but cleaned), well-worn but scarce AG 1876-s "Micro S" 50 cents, and 2 Austrian 10 Schillings. I spied the little 1872 10 kreuzer sitting in the right lower corner in the seller's "lot of Austria coins" picture, did you? It's a full gem BU prooflike with die clash and some light blue toning!!
