Very nice set! Congrats. I'm only 17,000+ points behind you in that one.

My father-in-law fits that profile. Not a coin collector, but he knows what he has. Guessing there are a lot of people like that.

Good question. I’m not sure if he bought them in the 70’s or 80’s. He is 83 years old. Not a coin collector, but has a shoe box of silver and gold coins buried in the closet. I was just starting this hobby when he showed them to me.

Small sample size (1): my father-in-law has 5 GSA CCs in his closet. Original envelopes with his name and address. Only got a peek at them once-10 years ago. If he passes them on to his children there is a 33% chance…
Fingers crossed!

As a buyer/bidder, I don’t pay much attention to the home page, bolded coins, or highlighted coins. I always wondered if the “hotlist” icon was an add-on fee.

I have a 2009 P SMS dime graded MS69 FT that might fit into your set. The NGC certificate number is 3543135-003. Let me know if you are interested.

Col. Flanagan. My bad.

2,000 lots! Impressive. Do you know anything about Mr. Flanagan?

The Rockefeller was the last one I needed for a long time. I bit the bullet and finally paid up for it. It seems to be the most difficult to find in circulation.

Several larger sets have “short sets” that are still challenging, but attainable to complete. Example: 1934-1938 Buffalo nickels.

QA-that gold took a summer to find. It was found with a Minelab detector and a gold pan. Nothing special. Just stating that metal detecting isn’t just for coins and jewelry. Agree-this thread is going in too many directions.

Guess I posted on the wrong thread. Sorry.

Thanks for starting this thread. Today, I am a type set collector on a lean budget.
My interests and collecting habits have evolved and hopefully matured over 20+ years. I started with raw ASEs and silver/gold bullion around 2001 (as an investment) and soon moved on to filling Whitman folders with pocket change. I bought several state quarter rolls, proof sets, and mint sets early on too. About 15 years ago, I decided to expand my collection and purchase an example of each circulated US copper and silver coin. I searched the Internet and the few coin shops in Montana for seated, standing, walking, flying, etc. coins and along the way, I became more interested in the history of US coins. Each time I found a coin that I didn’t know existed, I researched it and found that experience rewarding. I bought a Red Book in 2007 or 2008. That started me on CRHing, which I did for a few years. I soon learned (a little) about grading and started purchasing better coins, including graded coins, to grow my type set collection. I also purchased a few other books to improve my knowledge of coins.
In 2019, I was lucky enough to purchase the silver eagle with matching numbered certificate from the mint. That is when my coin collecting again took a big step forward. I joined NGC, sent that coin in, and in the process, found these boards, the registry, the coin explorer, and so forth. Today, I have over 400 coins “competing” in 80 sets and I still have the same goal as I did 15 years ago: own an example of every US copper and silver coin minted for circulation. But, this time around: in an NGC holder.
