<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 2551964, member: 77639&quot;]The Eliasberg collection is considered the one and only complete collection of &quot;regular&quot; U.S. issues.&nbsp; Regular issues exclude pattern, commemorative, colonial, and bullion coins.&nbsp; Eliasberg had many of those too (except bullion, of course).&nbsp; At the time he completed his collection in 1950, a collection was considered &quot;complete&quot; if it had one example from each date and mint, regardless of whether the examples were business strikes or proofs [ref: David Hall].&nbsp; And looking through sale catalogs of his coins,&nbsp; there were a lot series where he had either the business strike or proof coin of a particular date and mint, but not both.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I&#039;m wondering, what is/was the most complete collection of regular U.S. issues where business strike and proofs are not considered equivalent?&nbsp; In other words, both must be in the collection for it to be considered complete.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are also subcategories of most complete collection of regular U.S. business strike issuses and most complete collection of regular U.S. proof strike issuses.&nbsp; Anyone know who the winners are in those subcategories?</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
