Daunting task ahead of me. Time to get back onto ebay and sell, sell, sell...
My dad got paid on a debt owed to him in coin. The guy literally had purchased and saved mint and proof sets from the 1960's and early 70's. Not one or two sets from each year like normal people... oh no... 5 minimum, many times 15 or more. He has 34 1972 proof sets! These sets were issued for $5.00 each in 1972... guess how much they're worth? Go on.. guess.... ok.. would you believe $5.00 each. That's right... they haven't gone up in value since they were issued... why?... cause people bought tons of 'em at the time. And everytime someone ordered a set, the mint made 2... so there's a glut of that year. At least the earlier stuff has some value.
Huh? What does this have to do with me? Well, look at my profile, I'm into coins... and my dad knows nothing about them. I've been a seller on ebay and my mom just recently made her first purchase on ebay (she's way ahead of my dad on ebay), which means I'm experienced... and in their current form they do my dad no good, so he's hired me to sell them for him. I get a commission on whatever sells... I can't turn that down, I needs the dough at the present time. I'm thinking about an Atlanta trip in May... if I can afford to go.

If I ever had to tell Tegan apart by the metal I would never recognize her. I don't really see her as you described her though. She doesn't look that different to me from set to set. Some variation but not enough not to recognize who it is. At least for me. The pic I posted last most resembles how she looked when I met her. She reminds me of a girl I grew up with. Especially in the scaffold set.
I don't know if she actually planned on meeting people. She just happened to show up at the same place that I was already at.
Good luck with the coins.
