I follow this sellers auctions quite frequently. He sells these sets quite often and I have seen them go from $60 to $100.

Been watching auctions like these for a few weeks now. I think you could find one in the $40-$50 price range if your patient. I have noticed that this particular sellers brings in some nice prices because of his fairly decent pics.

And here is one that ended with no bids from a different seller:

yeah they are excellent pictures. I usually stay away from bad pictures though because I feel it is misleading, you never know what you will get. with good pics you know what you are bidding on.

yes the coins in the second set do not look as good..... they may be as good but the pictures do not lead to people thinking that.

This seller shows up on my searches quite a bit also. Never bought a set but have bought individual Lincolns from him and they were good coins.

I think jokingjoker is dead on price-wise.

I saw a set similar to this from the same seller go for $66 a couple of weeks ago and thought it seemed like a really good deal. I am always tempted to buy a set, cherrypick out the best coins for my set and then sell off the rest.

Shame he doesn't ship international. If his coins are as nice as his pictures, I would have been tempted to bid on a few singles.

Might be OK but I'd stay away. Those are all in Folders meaning there is an excellant possibility the seller pushed them all in with his fingers. If so those coins will eventually all show prints on them. Also, the reverses may be getting effected by the glud in the rear of the slots. He may be placing them in there with gloves on and recently so still might be OK but I'd not want to take that chance.
41 to 58 is nothing really fantastic for dates either.
Try to find a coin show in your area. Might find one cheapter and you get to see the real thing.
