had to look back on this post to see how long it took me to complete this set. So probably 2 years. Quite a while I know. Between the start and the end, 2 partial sets were listed on ebay. of which I was able to win about 75% of the 176 coins and 2 variations that I discovered along the way. While trying to complete it, there were a couple of heavy bidders that seem to have unlimited funds, to the point of winning/bidding $40+ for a common coin as opposed to maybe $10. The big 3 Oaklands were obviously the hardest, in particular Vadnais. the Stewart - NY16 was much tougher than the Jeffrey - NY14 for me. Anyway, happy to finally complete this challenging set.
