I love classic commems! Very nice! Thanks for sharing.

 

Are there 13 in a full set? My red book is buried at the moment.

 

50 for a silver type set.....144 for a complete silver (date, mintmark) set.

 

Wow. Are you trying for the silver type set? Have you ever seen a full 144 pc set with your own eyes?

Thanks for the info.

 

Even the 50 will be a chore. And no, I've never seen a complete set o' these. But you can always pick up the Red book and dream I know I do.....

 

Ken are these your pictures? If so I must say they are looking very nice!

Congrats!

 

Nice job with these. I particularly like the Rhode Island. I am slowly starting to put together the 50 piece type set myself (only have six so far). These are two that I don't have yet and are both challenging to find attractive examples. Keep up the good work!

 

I love, love, these. I think Commems will have to be my next set... type, of course.

 

Thanks Guys.

Travis, those are indeed my pics....

 

They look so much better in your pics Ken! Congrats on the new additions. I like the new way you are presenting them too! :thumb:

 

congrats Ken!

 

Thanks Chris. Still learnin' and playin' with the Photoscape thingy.....

 

Thanks V...

 

as a fellow collector who put $160 down on a Gettysburg today congrats

 

Definitely on my "to do" list. Gettysburg and Antietum....

 

yup. its a nice Unc prob MS-63...paying 440 plus sending to NGC...the dealer mentioned how he had sold a Antietum couple months ago for $1K but it was NGC MS-66 with nice toning

 

I like them and it sure looks like your set is moving along very nicely!

 

YN starting a Commemorative Collection

Nice coins green! Well after reading this, I think I might start this Commemorative Collecting. Are they still kinda in a low, undervalued state? Currently all I have graded is a San Diego and it is in a PCGS MS65.

 

You can pick up many at fairly reasonable prices. The most recent Red Book I own is 2008 and I know we shouldn't use it as a price guide, but many of the commem's that I've picked up are way below the '08 Red Book prices. I've heard others say that commem prices are a little flat ('cept for tonners ) at this time so you might want to add to your collection as the budget allows.
