Sorry I've Been Away For A While

I've been so buried with work I haven't been able to focus on my collection. Yesterday I was finally able to break away and fill some more holes in my Lincoln set.

It's coming together quite nicely, but I'm still haven't trouble with some early dates. Finding XF+ teens or even twenties is proving a challenge. If you're going to start a Lincoln set, you might consider going with VF because they seem waaaaaay easier to find.

In any event I also (finally) started filling the Memorial cents as well. What a pleasure those are! I was able to find about HALF of them in one shot, all beautiful MS reds. After a few filler Wheats and a bag full of BU Memorals, Jim from Treasure Island rang me up. "Meh... I'll just charge you ten bucks". TEN dollars!

They look so much nicer in the album when you turn the pages. It would be amazing to have all of them that nice, wheats included, but you'd have to be Bill Gates.

If you're into filling sets I highly recommend doing Lincoln Memorials. It's so much nicer to make a huge dent in your album without even denting your wallet.

I'll post pictures later. Cheers!
