Such a great, albeit short, list of people who have put together sets over the years. A key figure in the sets of Duckor and Price is David Akers as alluded to in the articles. I really liked the discussion about proof versus mint state for the P-mints, but I subscribe to the same notion of having mint state coins throughout the set; if I want proof coins I'll put together a set of proofs.
