<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2032688, member: 19463"]To me the set here is less interesting than the fact that someone (a dealer I have purchased from in the past) assembled it and that they are selling it as a unit. The $150k estimate works out to about $4k a coin. Several of these coins are worth $4k; some are not. The question is whether someone wants to pay extra for the set over the price of each coin or whether there are people who care what date is on their coin of this type. I have seen certain dates offered at a premium on the theory that they matched some specific date but the exact year date for either the birth or crucifixion is not certain so most people would probably just as well have a very nice single at $10-20k and let others go to people who would be happy to have a VF from a 'bad' date for a bargain price. It will be interesting to see what it brings. Please keep us posted. </p><p><br /></p><p>I recall CT management forbidding a game once proposed here but I would really be interested in knowing how accurately those of us who hang around here could agree on which coin (of few coins) from the 38 are the pick of the litter and which are the dregs.
