The Zambezi Collection

关于此套币: I never set out to build a complete Trade dollar set when this all started many years ago. First it was just a CC Trade dollar for my silver dollar type set. Then I decided to build a CC dollar set. Then about 7 years ago I saw Crypto's old Hub-Type set in the Registry and I was hooked! I have been lucky enough to have acquired almost all of the rare, tough, hard to find varieties, many in the "wild". I strive for original looking coins in choice XF to AU58, but of course with some of the tougher varieties you take what you can get. It’s been quite a journey and a lot of fun. The thrill of finding some of the ultra-rarities in the wild (76-S DDO, 75-CC “Wide CC ”) is exhiliarating! I’ve had great help acquiring some of this set from members of the PCGS boards, including OriginalDan, Stealer, Windycity, Crusty and Coolest. Special thanks go out to Keoj and Crypto for their help, encouragement, and for generously sharing their infinite knowledge on the Trade Dollar series.

I've got a few to go but am closing in. I've also got to figure out how to get some of my PCGS coins to show up here. The Registry shows 15 needed, but I've actually got 14 of those - it just doesn't say so on the label (and I'm not going to pay the round-trip fees and wait months for variety attribution for obvious Type 1 and 2 reverse types).
