Agree with all above--best to purchase the remaining coins. Slabbed is a good way to go. You might find 'raw' pieces from a reputable dealer at coin show.

The only way to make that less expensive is settle on a lower grade or heaven forbid a damaged Details coin. Agreed. Errers and Varietys.

Alright the journey has began. I was eyeing an au50 pcgs 1912-s but it had a carbon spot on Lincoln's head. I reached out to the seller and he gave me a good price on it so I bought it despite the carbon spot. It's a bit higher grade than I needed but that's ok. I'm waiting to receive it but I have 1 coin down!   Edited by LibertyEagle20

Well the seller reached out asking what else I needed so I also obtained a pcgs vf35 1911-s from him.   I have a feeling some of the others won't be so cheap and easy but I'm off to a good start..I think! |

You are not going to find any of those remaining dates from a bank roll. So you are going to need to purchase them slabbed. I bought a 1931-S in the raw. But the pricier coins certainly run a greater risk of being faked. I posted my coin here on CCF, for expert eyes let it pass (or fail) as authentic. Maybe I was just lucky, and probably will go with slabbed going forward. But, sadly, even slabbed coin's authenticity are not as certain as even a few years ago. |

Well this started moving faster than expected. I'm finding prices across grades on a lot of these are pretty similar so I keep widening my search. I got some grade creep and ended up scoring the 09-s and 31-s in high AU. I think I'm going to be on hold for a bit though as I've blown most of my budget for now. I made offers much lower than asking and the sellers accepted! Once I get these I will post an update. Assuming everything shows up as expected, I only need the 09-s vdb,10-s,14-d,and 24-d now. I may forget about the 22 plain as that seems more like an error and prices are very high..
