Member: Seasoned Veteran CSJournals-migration Posted August 4, 2016 Member: Seasoned Veteran Share Posted August 4, 2016 Many ids this week working both ends of the sets!! Friends, As usual I am always trying to figure out a new direction in collecting coins. I have many Modern Commems to send in for grading and at the same time I am building a dansco set on the raw end. It is great to complete a raw set as well as a graded set of each series I compete in. I have a blast at both sides without the total letdown of grading and expenses. Going for some TOUGH hole fillers in my RAW set this week. ---- Wish me luck!! Enjoy Collecting See more journals by Six Mile Rick Link to post Share on other sites

Jeffrey Cardona Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 A dansco set would be quite cool. It's a large collection to put together. Best of luck to ya. Jeffrey Link to post Share on other sites
jackson64 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I haven't checked for the expanded Olympic set Rick but besides what I listed on ebay, are there any other Dansco holes you want me to check for? I still have 2 groups yet and I'd sell them to a fellow collector before going to the ebay trouble ( and fees) Link to post Share on other sites
Six Mile Rick Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Jackson, I think you will do well Saturday. Last month when you sold the 16 Modern Commemoratives as a group the bid was just way too low "I was glad to win that one". Separately this time they are getting more bids and attention. I will get with you next week on the missing coins in my dansco albums. Good luck Saturday!! Rick Link to post Share on other sites
Six Mile Rick Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Jeffrey, The first 2 volumes of dansco Modern Commemorative make it to 2001 (96 coins). I have around 60% complete with the 1995-1996 Olympic MS and PF coins being the toughest candidates. The 95-96 Olympic 32 coin set which contains the gold coins as well cost around $5,000. I am getting the shorter sets and leftovers from others breaking their sets up. It is a fun challenging collection. Rick Link to post Share on other sites
Six Mile Rick Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 The hard sector to deal with on building the raw set is the ungraded stack. I have around 16 NICE coins for NGC next month that would fill holes in the albums. I will do NGC first and then crack out the lower grades for the albums. September will be a blast in my sets after NGC grading!! Link to post Share on other sites
