[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 1040337, member: 19165"]And its a doozy! I've had my eye on this piece on Ebay for quite a while, and finally decided to buy it as a graduation present to myself. Apparently the 7070 doesn't have a slot for classic commem's, so it won't be going in my Registry, but the beauty of collecting is that I can define my set however I choose. This piece is now a part of my set! It is graded as an NGC MS-65 * PL - and deserves every bit of that.

So, the Classic Commem slot has been filled in my Prooflike Type Set. My set is making decent progress, but unfortunately the next phase is going to be much more expensive, now that I've gotten most of the moderns out of the way.
