DNA Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 11/01/2009 9:58 pm If you were really picky, you could buy high-grade slabbed 2009 Proof Cents, and break those out for your LN6 Set... Of course, this approach would cost you a bit more! I just figured that since PR69 Proof Lincoln Dollars seemed to have no price premium over their OGP brethren (at least at the coin show I was at), it seems like they would be good 'swap' candidates for LN6 Sets. PS: One dealer there even had the BR4 Braille Education Set in his case! Edited by DNA 11/01/2009 10:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
eaglefoot Pillar of the Community United States 6326 Posts	Posted 11/02/2009 09:25 am My Mom ended up surprising me, and scored me another Lincoln Chron. Set. But to my dismay, underneath the AM I noticed a bad/sharp scratch on one of the Cents (and upon glassing it......well.....UGHHH !) ....... So, though the rest of the Set, and "my" whole Set are of exceptional quality (luckily)......this "scratch" has been bugging me ! I was not going to order a lone Proof Cent Set, but, now I might have to, just to deal with this ! I don't enjoy the idea of crackin' this Set to replace this Cent, but, it really does (even with the naked eye) stand out like a sore thumb ! So, soon........gonna have to be ordering that Set......and I still need some Uncirculated Sets too so.....aaahhh well ! Even if I don't replace this "problem Cent" anytime soon......knowing that I "can" anytime I want, is very reassuring ! .... Edited by eaglefoot 11/02/2009 09:28 am Report this Post to the Staff
Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5614 Posts	Posted 11/02/2009 09:35 am I too have obtained some Lincoln Coin and Chronicles sets, and also found the "cents" to be less than perfect( much less ), for proof coins. I would think if the set could be entered and no "foot-prints" are left, LOL, I would go for it..... Report this Post to the Staff

eaglefoot Pillar of the Community United States 6326 Posts	Posted 11/30/2009 3:05 pm I'm not an E-bay person at all.......but I was curious to ask the question at this time..... (a month and a half out) ....... What is the L. C. & C. Set going for now ? Is the price still holding around $130.00- $150.00 ? Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188660 Posts	Posted 11/30/2009 4:24 pm My ebay search shows most of the recent ones in the $120~140 range with two in the $150's and two in the $160's. Most of them included free shipping, so knock a few dollars off for that.

I know dealers do this, they will buy a bunch of sets looking for 70's and the ones they know will not make that grade they ship back to the mint Report this Post to the Staff
