jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4692 Posts	Posted 02/17/2015 12:31 am Odd coins to put together a set. 1909-VDB are scarce, but available, but the sellers want crazy prices. Same as the 1909 and 1916. I have been shopping these for several years. Go figure. Report this Post to the Staff

tepritts Valued Member United States 306 Posts	Posted 02/17/2015 12:04 pm I've finally decided to "finish" my set with these nine pennies. Got the books for reference. Made up my mind to shop for Brown or Red/Brown in the PR63 to PR65 range. Now just a manner of finding them. Looks like the best chance is one of auction houses. Does anyone have other suggestions? Is anyone else attempting this and how's it going. Been working on this set since 1959, so I don't expect overnight success. Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19949 Posts	Posted 02/17/2015 1:46 pm A collection of these will only go as far as your wallet. They are rare and when they do come up they can be quite expensive. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff

LeeG Valued Member United States 243 Posts	Posted 02/18/2015 07:19 am I was working on this series about five years ago just before the big run up in prices. Prices are coming down a little bit now. You'll still pay some good money for the 1909 VDB, 1915 and 1916. Patience goes a long way in this series, eye appeal is king. There are some coin dealers who specialize in this series like Brian Wagner and Andy S. at AngelDees. Report this Post to the Staff

Charles Morgan Pillar of the Community United States 1071 Posts	Posted 02/18/2015 1:55 pm It's a great set for the experienced and "advanced" collector. There are so many niches with Lincolns, that you could spend a lifetime in the series and not do it all. Report this Post to the Staff
