    I erroneously reported that I had finished the set just before the onset of the pandemic, but blast it, I was wrong. Seems (much like my old friend @kanga has done from time to time) I purchased a double of what I already had possessed thinking it was the elusive 'closer'. For some odd reason the 1951 D in condition, quality, appeal and price (most worthy) has eluded me.........until now. Nailing down something that completes a set (PDS) and date-run is extremely satisfying. Behold, my friends.........

    Next up are the 'Carver/Washingtons. I'm shy one on that set. In the meantime, please have a look at my set registry over on PCGS. https://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/co...ulation-strikes-1946-1951/publishedset/136829

    Peace Bros. :)

    Just checked the NGC census... You could theoretically do a date set, but not a full set.

    I didn't realize how many years the Booker's lasted for.

    That 51 D Booker is one of the best I've seen thanks for sharing.

    I didn't either, I know that when I find these raw. They are rarely struck hard enough to remove the planchet marks. So, finding examples that aren't as bad as most is difficult to do. Especially when they are raw.

    PL's, I am sure trade for a pretty penny.
