I'd love to make it public and will do so in due time. Due to the competitive nature of registry sets, I've opted to keep the set private for now. Plus, there's 1 or 2 coins in my set that I'm too embarrassed to show. When my set is complete or near complete, I will make it public and maybe even display it at a coin show or two.
I respect that decision to keep it private. I don't make it to very many coin shows but I will be there to see your Saints!
I see a road trip in our future !! 👍🏻☺️😉
Personally I’d put the set up even with a outlier or three in the set . That’s part of the fun , watching it come to life and take form .
As far as competition goes , I’ve adopted WineSteven’s attitude towards it. If someone else catches up and or surpasses me I’ll be genuinely happy for that person . And congratulate them .
One thing about Elite is that he’ll forever be the Firstest with the mostest . First complete set and ‘33 to truly top it off as 100% complete. ( would love to watch the upgrading process take place over time , exciting )
John Albanese, who cofounded PCGS in 1986 and as a longtime dealer regularly handles encapsulated rare coins, says the eye appeal of the 1933 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle is magnificent. “The strike and surfaces of this example are above par. It’s simply a beautiful coin.”

The one or two coins that Elite needs to upgrade are probably better than any of my Saints
Has your ‘33 received a green bean yet ?

Don't hit me. I am old.
But yeah you got me ! 😬😊
How about this? When I decide to publish my set details, you will be the first to know!
A real pleasure dealing with them.
