Message:: [QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2734357, member: 10461"]Potentially big changes coming for this set in the next few days.  (More on that later, if it happens- I think it's going to.) In the meantime, here's the summary for May 10, 2017.  (Basically the removal of the proof US 3c piece and the addition of the Pillar dollar.)  But more to come... In the second post below, I'll link up the old archives of this set, if anyone is really bored and wants to see how it's evolved from its rather humble beginnings four or so years ago.
