What mail187man said.. I've been averaging only 1-3 coins per box the last 18 months or so, and they've been beat and/or stained to the point most go right back in circulation.. Amazingly, one that did end up staying with me is an either WDDO-001 or -050 -- haven't checked due to nice reverse but messed up obverse..

I recently had the opportunity to purchase a still sealed box of P Formative Years for $69 + shipping.. Signed on the dotted line mainly because the "fickle finger of fate" error & variety happens to be one of my faves, plus the price was right enough.. Just got it, to the point I'm still working through the first roll.. No love as of yet.. Early days though..

I have a few of each, my wife is a Lincoln collector so I also bought her some "special" sets. One set is carded coins with bio info and another is a "gold" plated set. They were so hard to find in circulation that it made the sets worth buying for her and she loved them. I wonder how many were bought and made into the gold plated sets? Another reason for many less in circulation.

Those are all proof cents, not for circulation.

For what it is worth I have that set and I love it.

Not to mention they are the 95% copper variety. They'll still be around when the circulation coins have rotted away.
