Very exciting Stewart, thanks for sharing!! I have been lobbying for this set for many years. This is the tougher short set before the wheats were "mass produced". Lots of challenging D and S mints in higher grades in the teens and 20's. I look forward to seeing everyone's sets.

Yes, that is new, started about 1-1/2 months ago. Since it’s a “Date” Set of 50, it allows one to build a nice set at a much lower cost than the 140 coin set that requires all mint marks. Significant money is saved for two obvious reasons: 1) fewer coins, and 2) you can now choose the coin for each date that costs less. Obviously, this set is not for every Lincoln collector. As a side benefit, it can also provide for a more “attractive” set that can be more affordable where all of the coins can be a closer match in color, such as all RD, as well as a closer match in grade. For those with a higher budget that partake in the complete 140 coin set, they can do this one too, using their best coin for each date.
A day without fine wine and working on your coin collection is like a day without sunshine!!!
That's great !! Lot's of Lincoln cent registry options.
Even one for Lincoln Cents Commemorative Series, Circulation Strikes (2009)
Satin Finish and Proof
Asked many times to see a set / sets created for 2010 Shield to date.
Answer... No, not going to happen, No and believe the last time was sorry but no as well.
WHY NOT ???
