I did a little digging when I acquired these pieces. I was also curious to see if I could find the companion coins to this set. I found that this particular collector had a custom set on Collectors Society which contained 2 1970 proof sets. (10 coins) Unfortunately there were no pictures and the last activity on the set was back in 2014. I happened to run across one of the Kennedy half dollars that sold at GC. I’m not sure if it came from the same set that my new coins are from or the other set. I would like to see what the other coins look like myself. Here is a link to the Kennedy. https://www.greatcollections.com/Coin/1208842/1970-S-Kennedy-Half-Dollar-NGC-Proof-68-Pendergraft-Collection-Toned

Thanks brother.

I didn’t realize you had so many Buffs.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate it. The more I look at them the more I like them.

Wishing the best for Mr. Lange and his family.

Thanks Neo. Of course, the nickel was the first one to catch my eye, but the quarter is definitely the standout of the group.

I just saw this and I am glad to see things are getting better for you guys. It is heartbreaking to see young people go through this kind of stuff. You and your family are in my thoughts.

Probably from the drumroll.

Thanks QA. There are 2 very light marks in the fields and one on the neck on the obverse of the quarter.

I decided instead of taking up a bunch of room on the new acquisition thread, I would just post these on their own. I was able to make a bundle purchase from a dealer I work with a lot for these coins. (Thanks Ken) I am not really sure what the PENDERGRAFT COLLECTION is but, I am happy to be able to acquire these pieces from it. I apologize in advance for the glare on the photos. These were very difficult for me to photograph.

Another nice set of pick ups JP. Quite a score on that 51D. Congrats buddy.

I posted the seller pics of this coin in the new acquisition thread a few days ago. I received it in the mail yesterday and I was very pleased. The tone on this coin is phenomenal. The colors are very rich and vibrant. Even these pics lighten the coin up more than it is in hand. Very deep. I really like this one. Can’t wait to get it to Joe and let him work his magic.updated pic below.

I’ll allow it. Carry on gentlemen.

Very nice pieces. Thanks for posting them. What prompted you to dig them out after all of these years?

Pretty worn out for sure.

Under 1/3 of book. I don’t know how he does it.

Congrats on the accomplishment Bill. I don’t really see why you would have to do anything with your set. If it were me, I would just keep them as is and intact. Maybe if the coins were being compromised in the original packaging then something may have to be done. ( I am referring to the collection itself. The storage situation may be something to think about.) I would say you are prime for a new project goal. What’s next?

For that coin I don’t think I can be too picky. Full steps are not a deal breaker for this one. It is just one of those hard to find coins for me. I think the hunt is the best part of collecting and filling that slot will be very gratifying when the right one comes along.

Thanks Bill for keeping an eye out for me. I do appreciate it. Unfortunately, this is a Denver coin. I’m looking for a San Fran mint. I am afraid if I do find one it may be out of my budget. I did see one in a PCGS holder in a MS-67 FS on Angel Dees website, but the price tag was a bit out of reach for me at $7500. We will see if that slot ever gets filled.
