    A nice list, but I disagree. Norris is probably a collector interested in
    but not very knowledgeable about Colonials, wanted a type set, and used those
    infamous PCGS condition census listings as the basis for buying "only the
    finest". Granted there are some high-quality coins, but pieces such as
    Myddleton tokens and Franklin Press coppers can be found in high grades. I'm
    sure we all have a number of raw pieces, primarily State coinage, which are
    of better quality than the pieces listed. I'm also sure the pieces sold in
    the Goldberg sale for slab-grade prices to people who actually care about
    such things. An impressive type set, to be sure, but "only the finest" as
    determined by PCGS. Give me a break!
