<p>[QUOTE=&quot;oval_man, post: 1192803, member: 22602&quot;]Great post, illini; I like your thoughts about the significance of the hobby&#039;s growth as it pertains to this. BTW, I&#039;ve checked out in the past Cardinal&#039;s collections (breathtaking and inconceivable to me to have the ability to assemble such coins) and also your &#039;09 Mint Set—very nice! Quite superb.</p><p><br /></p><p>You&#039;ll appreciate this story: a couple of years ago a member of our Grand Rapids Coin Club presented his 2 cent collection, which at the time was PCGS&#039;s top-ranked set (he has since lost that title). Every coin was 65 or 66 RD, no spots, a spectacular set to behold. As proud of his set as he was, he related to me his honest suspicion that the coins could still have their original, absolutely clean, red surfaces. It&#039;s very likely some or even all had, but there will remain that gray area of doubt in a lot of collectors, I think.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
