Was in an ANACS AU Details holder, now in a PCGS Genuine holder. Got a great deal on it from McCintosh Collectibles out of Sacramento,Ca. Purchased it at the Long Beach Coin Expo in September 2008.   swcoin.ecrater.com

When the time comes, I'll most likely get mine from a local dealer.
One dealer has a nice PCGS MS-62 BN in their case.
I could have it for $50 below CDN bid.
The problem for them is, whoever can afford it most likely could also
afford an MS-63 RB or even an MS-64 RD, and they're willing to wait
until the RB or RD coin turns up.

I'm among the lucky ones. Here's the https://goccf.com/t/75650 story of where mine came from. :) The 2nd 1909-S Indian in that thread went off to PCGS for their quarterly special yesterday. I'm cautiously optimistic of it coming back with a grade. |

 With now 10 completed sets of Lincoln Cents and all in order of condition from set #1 to #10. These are in set #1 of course. This set is now all MS grades. Have had most of all coins for a long, long time. Now here is something to think about. Now with well over 300,000,000 people in the USA, many, many mofe in other countries of course, ever wonder what percent collect US coins? And then too how many collect Lincoln Cents? How many of the original minted ones have been distroyed? So with only 484,000 minted, and people like me with duplicates, what are your chances of getting one. HMMM, something to think about. |

Good point justcarl, I'll bet more than 484,000 people have them ....just that some might be disappointed if they checked the authenticity.

Unfortunately yes. As I move a coin from set to set for improvementation, I end up with a duplicate in a 2x2. Eventually there is enough duplicates to start, sometimes complete, another set. From the last time I looked at the duplicates, I think there is enough to start #11. The photo could have been better but taken through the plastic slides in the Albums. |

Carl,
With Ten completed sets, may I ask how old you are or how long you've been collecting? I completed mine about a year and a half ago, after some 50 years of off and on searching and buying. I just turned 62.
That's quite an accomplishment!

After putting off purchasing one for the last 20 years, I finally broke down and purchased one this year. I purchased it from an online dealer I have been doing business with for the last 6 years. It was a good feeling to finally add one to my collection.

After nearly 30 years of working on my Lincoln set, I also finally broke down and purchased one from a local dealer in Spokane about 5 years ago. I paid $750 for an xf example, but only after extensively researching the diagnostics of a genuine coin. The dealer also guaranteed that if it does not slab, I can return it. I am quite happy with my purchase as these have gotten more expensive every year! I would post pics, but I am on vacation currently:).

I'd almost want to have a BN coin over a RB or RD for a Dansco album. Those RD and RB coins will eventually turn BN. Sometimes, a nice chocolate BN coin has nicer eye appeal than a RB coin. swcoin.ecrater.com

All of my Wheat Cents are brown by choice. Since all of the Memorials came from circulation, they range from Red (after 1980) to Red-Brown (before 1980). After 25 years in a Dansco (for the ones dated before 1985 at least), they still appear as red as when they were put in. However, I cannot say what will happen over the next 25 years. Even if all of the Memorials eventually browned, I would be okay with it. I actually prefer to look of a brown cent to a red one. |
