zacharycash Pillar of the Community United States 668 Posts	Posted 02/20/2008 11:21 pm Ok this might soung dumb but this is what I am thinking about doing. I am thinking about selling off some of my Lincoln Cent collection, and starting again with the key dates, and getting as high of quality coins as I can. ( within my budget ). Right now in my set I am only missing 10 coins in the set (1909 - 1958) and I only have about 3 coins above AU between 1909 and 1930. I would really like to get higher quality coins than I have now. thanks, zacharycash Report this Post to the Staff

gusp Valued Member United States 288 Posts	Posted 02/21/2008 12:04 am Set collecting can be fun and rewarding. It is the hunt and completion. It is also OK to collect Very early die state fully struck high grade gem coins. This is what many Type collectors do. Generally, I have found that the big money follows very rare coins. If investment is your goal, purchasing one real good coin is usually better than purchasing many inferior coins. Enjoy you pursuit, however you ultimately decide. Gusp Report this Post to the Staff

Keep The good stuff get rid of the junk. Sell it on ebay to people that have more money then cents and be creative when selling you will get the most for your items. Report this Post to the Staff
j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 02/21/2008 08:10 am Zach, I'm not quite understanding what your plan is. You're considering selling off your, sayyyyyyyyyyyy, VG/F key dates and replacing them with with better grades? I have lots of AU and BU coins (not key or semi-key dates) in those years.

ceaton Pillar of the Community United States 1179 Posts	Posted 02/21/2008 7:32 pm I'd suggest waiting for the 09 craze? Might get more out of it then. Otherwise, sell it off if thats what you want. I'm trying to collect great coins right away, no upgrades needed type thing. Report this Post to the Staff
