Overall Achievement


All MS70
This passionate collector has no fewer than 75 competitive sets and a total of 1,388,161 Registry points. As one would imagine from his handle, this collector’s focus is on modern coins exclusively. The many sets of United States regular, commemorative and bullion coins include numerous Number One rankings — a remarkable achievement. The top point scorer among his sets is Roofers MS & PF Silver American Eagles Complete, with a score of 883,959 points.

Judea
Since becoming a member in 2012, Judea has racked up 103,600 Registry points spread over 52 competitive sets. That’s a lot of coins and a lot of commitment, too. The overall theme of these sets appears to be the Jewish and Islamic coinage of the Middle East during the 20th Century up to about 1980. The highest in points is Palestine British Mandate 20 Mils 1927-44, with nearly 12,000 points. This set is ranked Number One in its category, as are numerous others belonging to this dedicated collector.

FloridaFacelifter
This is another very passionate collector, a previous winner in the Best Classic Set category and a 25-time winner of Best in Category. The 18 competitive sets have tallied over a million Registry points. Though most of these sets are not yet complete, it is understandable given the rarity and the cost of the coins involved. Most are type or date sets of 19th Century United States coins. The top point earner is a nearly complete set of Morgan Dollars, with almost all of the coins being nice MS or PF examples in high grades.

EMO Collection
This collector has won three Registry Awards for world coin sets and is a 191-time winner of Best in Category for the 30 sets posted, which have a combined total of 377,189 Registry points — an enviable achievement. The overriding theme is the coinage of Cuba, and about half of the sets are ranked Number One in their categories. The top point earner is a complete set of Cuba’s circulating coins 1915-61 that previously won a Best World Set award. Nearly complete, all of these coins are NGC-certified and accompanied by photos.

PandaAccumulator
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that this collector has a thing for Pandas, and what a Panda collection it is! Some 48 competitive sets have been posted, with a combined Registry score of nearly 900,000 points. Those charming creatures have sold a lot of coins over the past 40 years, and some of the finest pieces are found here. Many of these sets are ranked Number One, and the top point earner is a nearly complete set of ½-ounce gold Pandas 1982-date in Mint State, with varieties.

Hornets Nest Collection
The theme for this collector is the gold coinage of the United States Mint at Charlotte, North Carolina (1838-61). A complete set of all the coins from the Charlotte Mint is a truly immense achievement, and it has earned the owner a whopping 380,416 points. Combined with the complete individual sets of C-Mint Gold Dollars, Quarter Eagles and Half Eagles, there are just four in total, but they include many remarkable rarities. Some of these were formerly owned by such notable numismatic figures as Louis E. Eliasberg, Ed Milas and John Jay Pittman. Pieces from the memorable Elrod Collection are also included.

Best Classic US Sets


Indian Head Cents 1859-1909, Circulated Coins Only
By Xan Chamberlain

This collection is complete by date and mint, with all coins being nicely matched examples certified as AU 58. To achieve such consistency in any coin series is very difficult, and it would have been easier to find MS examples of various grades (in fact, the owner has an additional set of MS coins in high grades). Each entry is illustrated, and the key dates of 1877 and 1909-S are particularly challenging to find in the 58 grade. This set serves as an inspiration to fans of the Indian Head Cent who may wish to fulfill their goal within a reasonable cost.

Seated Liberty Dollars 1840-1873, Proofs
By NW Collections

Attempting to secure a complete run of proof Seated Liberty Dollars is a bold undertaking. This collector has not only completed the set but has done so in style, with almost exclusively choice or gem pieces that, as a group, edge out the next best set for First Place. Each coin is illustrated in its certified holder, and this makes for a useful reference to the series. The top point earner is a beautiful 1844 dollar NGC-certified as PF 64 Cameo. This coin is pedigreed to the memorable Sweet Collection, and a quick survey of the remaining entries reveals other important names such as Pittman, Share and Richmond.

USA-Philippines 1903-1945 Complete, One-Per-Date
By lightningsquid

This set is ranked Number One in its category by a comfortable margin. It is complete for all dates from half centavo through peso, and many of the coins are gems. The USA/Philippines series is a difficult one to complete, even by date alone. Nearly all of the coins are illustrated in their NGC-certified holders. Some of the highlights include a gem 1905 centavo (PF 65 RB), the very rare 1918-S 5 centavos mule variety (MS 61), the 1928-M 20 centavos mule (MS 64), the 1905 peso (PF 65), the 1906-S peso (XF 45) and the 1910-S peso (MS 65).

20th Century Series Type Set, Proofs & Non-Proofs
By BlakeEik

This delightful set is complete for all USA coin types of the 20th Century from cent through double eagle, and it’s top ranked for its category. The coins are a mix of MS and PF examples, all of them NGC-certified in superb grades. Each coin is accompanied by excellent photographs taken by the owner, and these are accompanied by brief descriptions of the pieces shown. Some of the more memorable coins include the 1909 Indian Head Cent (MS 67 RD), the 1911 Liberty Head Nickel (PF 68«), the 1911 Barber Dime (MS 67), the 1900 Barber Quarter (PF 67+ Ultra Cameo) and the 1907 High Relief Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle (MS 62).

B.T. Washington Half Dollars 1946-1951
By StanJustice

This splendid set is yet another that leads its category with the highest score. Complete for the entire series of P-D-S Booker T. Washington Half Dollars from 1946 through 1951, all of the entries are NGC-certified in very high grades. The owners’ emphasis is on “blast white” pieces, though there are a few really great toners, too. For example, the 1946-D (MS 68«) is about as pretty and colorful as this type comes. It is also the top point earner in the set, but other highlights include 1946-S (MS 68«), 1948-S (MS 67), 1950-S (MS 67«) and 1951-S (MS 67+).

Morgan Dollars 1878-1921, One-Per-Date
By ChrisInJesup

The stated goal of this collector is “to present a nice respectable ‘Mint State’ collection at an average ‘Gem State’ level.” The emphasis is on the enjoyment of affordable, collector coins rather than achieving a high score. Each Morgan is illustrated with photos and text, both by the owner. Information is included about how and when the particular dollar was obtained and what significant events occurred in the year of its coining. The line-up includes a pleasing blend of white coins and those having attractive, peripheral toning.

Buffalo Nickels 1934-1938, Circulation Issue
By scopru

The “short set” of Buffalo Nickels is a perennial collector favorite, comprising the final years of the series in which the coins are affordable in Mint State. For this collector Buffalo Nickels are “a nostalgic coin series that always brings back memories of my early youth and time spent with my grandfather searching nickels.” The coins are illustrated with photos by either NGC or the owner, who has added an interesting historical fact with each entry. Certified by NGC in grades ranging from MS 64 to MS 67+, each piece is appealing yet affordable.

Morgan Dollars 1878-1921, Circulation Issue
By Brian Hilkey

This set is perhaps a collaboration between B and C, since the opening comments state “we have developed a love for unique coins – those with beautiful toning and patina.” Indeed, each Morgan Dollar combines color and character to make it memorable, and clearly much care went into the selection of these pieces. This passion comes through in the commentary that accompanies each coin, which includes a name for each such as Leatherface or Roller Girl! One more thing – the photography is excellent throughout.

By Jaelus

This set is 100% complete for the five entries, and its score beats out the runner-up by a factor of six.

Each entry is NGC-certified and accompanied by excellent photos that reveal a mix of “white” and splendidly toned beauties. The highlight is the scarce 1913 issue grading MS 63. The owner’s comments are brief but interesting.

What comes next? You’ve been freed. Do you know how hard it is to lead?
By coinsandmedals

As the owner of this set explains, its title is taken from a line in the musical Hamilton that is uttered by Britain’s King George III to the newly independent America. In fact, the introductory text to this set makes for such fascinating reading that it’s easy to forget about the coins. These comprise a broad assortment of the copper pieces struck for George III at Matthew Boulton’s Soho Mint from 1788 to 1813. Each piece is nicely illustrated and accompanied by very detailed text about its technical details, as well as its historical context. This is a truly superb presentation.

Most Creative Custom Set


Xanno Error Indians
By Xan Chamberlain

More than 400 mint error coins are included in this outstanding set. Nearly all of them are Flying Eagle or Indian Head Cents 1857-1909, but the collection opens with a few U. S. Mint pattern coins that reveal how the old copper large cent morphed into the small cent between 1850 and 1857. All but a few of the pieces are NGC-certified, and each is accompanied by good photos and a detailed description revealing the nature of the error shown. The owner acknowledges that the set can never be complete, since each error coin is distinctive. It’s a sure bet that this set will continue to grow.
