rupester Pillar of the Community United States 1300 Posts	Posted 02/23/2014 11:56 am Hello all, so I have been for awhile working on a au/bu/unc Wheat cent collection. I am down to page 1,2 of my dansco book, I have seen a 1909 s vdb in this condition seller said he would take 1,000 for it.anyways I am just wondering if anyone has a collection like this or has been considering a collection like this. Oddly enough. I am buying them in reverse order. Counting down to the first coin. More or less nice red/brown cents culling out all dark coins. And on page 3 I need the first 8 coins as well Report this Post to the Staff

KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 02/23/2014 12:07 pm Yes, I am working on exactly this set - same color range and also doing it in reverse chronological order as well. I am down to needing the following coins: 27-S 26-S 24-D 24-S 22-D 21-S 18-S 17-D 17-S 15-S 13-S 12-S 09-S VDB My 09-S and 14-D are VG brown coins for now. Maybe someday I will upgrade them; the 09-S is doable in uncirculated but the 14- D is outrageous - more than an 09-S VDB in that grade. I have found these remaining coins to be very expensive and hard to even find available to purchase in red/brown uncirculated grades. Very little left on my list can be had for under $200, with many pushing $500 or more. Definitely a lesson in patience. My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!)

For that kind of money it needs to be a nice AU55 in a reputable slab, or you need to be absolutely sure of the authenticity of a really high-priority target for counterfeiters. Not saying it's impossible; just advising caution and forgive me if I'm preaching to the choir. Report this Post to the Staff

acloco Pillar of the Community United States 3540 Posts	Posted 02/26/2014 9:24 pm Interesting, believe most collectors of the Lincoln series are in the same boat. Of the 140 Lincoln cents (no varieties, double dies, or mint errors), I am down the 17 coins that don't exist in my set. The 14 D may never get upgraded, because of cost. Well over half are raw. Of the the very common coins, I have just not seen "the one" for my set. Of the 123 coins in my set, the average grade (raw and slabbed) is 63.5. The set is NOT red, but a mixture of BN, RB, and Red. Have looked at as many coins as possible to find the best at the most reasonable (NOT inflated pricing!!). I am close...very close. Good luck! 11 D (needs upgrade from AU55) 14 D (maybe upgrade from XF someday...maybe!) 14 S (raw, XF) 19 D (raw 63rb) 19 S (raw 62rb) 20 D need 20 S need 21 S (need upgrade from NGC 55) 23 S need 24 D (need upgrade AU55) 26 D (need upgrade AU55) 26 S (need upgrade AU58) 27 D (need upgrade AU55) 36 D need 45 D need 48 S need 50 need 51 S need 52 S need 55 D need 56 need 57 need 57 D need 58 D need Report this Post to the Staff
