You should know that I check the old 'Days of' thread to see your assessments before I buy any classic commem.
I'm humbled by your confidence in my assessment of these rarely seen coins - and thrilled that my knowledge sharing all those years ago is of current support in your current quest.
Makes me feel proud that I can still help you through the years.

A question - I think I read somewhere that you weren't actively working on your circ set anymore. However, if, for example, you ran across a significant downgrade... perhaps an AG or G York, would you make an exception?
At this time I still have two top 10 PCGS Registry sets in both 50 coin type set conditions - MS/CAC (#9) and circulated (#4).
I absolutely enjoyed the thrill of the hunt, and in particular the unique challenge of finding all 50 of these coins in honestly circulated state. Took me about a decade to complete that quest.
You read correctly that I have long ago ended the active acquisition phase of both my classic commemorative sets.
So, to your question - Yes, I would enjoy downgrading the few AU coins in my circulated classic commem set. But it would take a truly monster coin such as you suggest.
To you Silver Searcher - I've observed your steady progress over the previous few years to acquire these very difficult coins. Keep the goal in mind and perseverance is your key to success.
It would be my pleasure to be able to support you in the future.
