Five raw wheat Lincolns added, just waiting in the 1st ms66 to arrive. Hopefully I catch a daytime trip to Columbus in the next week or so. The view from the top floor of the Wexner hospital is impressive.
If I don't catch a trip on my next shift ( Saturday ) I'm thinking I'll just drive up Monday morning. I have some business I can take care of while I'm there. Then to figure out how to post pictures.
Thank you Fraz. Yes, retirement is close. Just from the paying job though. Volunteer fire chief as well as medic on several other vol. depts in the area. Heck, I'll probably be running calls on the day I pass away. When I get the picture I want at OSU, I'll reach out.
Received both of the 1955 S in PCGS ms66red today. Not gonna hold the album up much longer. I can see a 86 mile trip to Columbus for pictures sometime this week.
ON THE ROAD AGAIN !!!
The album goes out Monday a.m. to WquarterFreddie. Finally got family issues taken care of enough to get back on track.
Wifey & I drove 90+ miles today to get a picture of the album with THE Ohio State University horseshoe stadium ( the shoe ) in the background.
My apologies as dealing with a family loss took priority. Thanks to all for understanding.
I am more aware of mintage numbers because of the traveling folders. I guess I don’t look as though I have a lot of smarts because I’m giving my money out, though. I have not heard more about the fate of the other folder.
Fraz, I have folder # 3 as soon as somebody ( you ) tell me to get it started. I'm gonna put my contribution in ASAP so I don't hold it up like I did Vol. II. Still dealing with that situation.

Also, gonna wait a day or so, then somebody can help me in how to post pictures from my phone onto this thread. Let's keep this on page 1 for awhile.
Send me a PM when you are ready to post your pics. I will walk you through it.😉
@Tibor ...... I have made my contributions and I am ready to ship this folder to the next member.
Please update the list so I know who I should reach out to for shipping this folder.
Unfortunately, I used up all of my Lincoln statue venues for the 1st folder so the only pic I will post tomorrow is the pic of the updated folder before I head to the post office.😎
Ok here are the pics of the album. I filled the remaining S blanks and added 2 in the year 1947.
Shipping to Sean today.
Also, just want to inform those that care that I am signing off for an extended period of time to pursue other interests so I will not be available for the 3rd album.
I truly enjoyed participating in the first 2 Lincoln folders. I hope everyone has a safe and happy 2024!😎
The album looks great. @WQuarterFreddie All those "S" mints. @Tom147 The 55-S looks great. We are really making progress.
I hope the rest of the participants will take pictures as well.

My contributions are in, @DCW let me know where you want the album shipped. As I did on the first, I added a few clipped planchets. I'll try to remember to post pics before I ship it out.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

I have a nice 48 and 55 and would be happy to donate them, if I could just mail them to someone instead of handling the album again. It would save time also. Great album.

PM sent to @DCW and @jesbroken . Anybody have an idea onto the
placement of the completed folder? Do we want to do #3 or try a nickel
folder or a 50 States folder?
Some of the participants are curious as to the disposition of
the completed folder. PM me with your thoughts and how to
go about achieving the goal. Any and all thoughts will be considered.

Tibor, I have # 3 album ready to go if that's what we wanna do.
The folder is back in my possession. I'll finish filling it tonight.
Make suggestions on who will receive the completed folder. @Tom147 has folder #3 ready to go. I will now turn the project
over to him. Put my name on the list to add coins

My eBay shows both PCGS ms66red Lincolns will be here Saturday. WQuarterFreddie, I'll send tracking info as soon as I mail it out.
@Tom147 Hopefully you got some good pictures!! As WQF stated,
there is no hurry.
I forgot to up date the next participants:

Thank you Tibor!🤣😂
Looking forward to receiving it but again please keep it until you get the pic of the stadium. 😉
If I don't catch a trip on my next shift ( Saturday ) I'm thinking I'll just drive up Monday morning. I have some business I can take care of while I'm there. Then to figure out how to post pictures.
Tom, I thought that retirement was soon. Thanks for your dedication to our safety.
You gotta learn to post photos sometime. Lemme know if I can help.
Thank you Fraz. Yes, retirement is close. Just from the paying job though. Volunteer fire chief as well as medic on several other vol. depts in the area. Heck, I'll probably be running calls on the day I pass away. When I get the picture I want at OSU, I'll reach out.

Awesome! Looking forward to seeing the pics!
You all can sign me up for Book 2. Hopefully there are some holes left to fill?

WQuarterFreddie, Need you to message me so I can provide tracking number on the Lincoln Road Show album.
Done 😎
Ready to post your pics?
Bringing this back to page 1. Can't wait to see the pictures.
Hey Tibor, I am confirming receipt of the folder. Currently planning a road trip and will post pics soon!
Thank you for your efforts to keep this thread active. 😎
Well after looking through the folder I learned something new today!
The San Francisco Mint stopped producing Lincoln's from 1956-1967 then began again in 1968!
I never knew that.🤔

Tom, I see no reason to rush, but if it helps you, I’ll hold it until vol. 2 gets steam. PM me.
I'll get back with you both tomorrow, Leaving on an out of town transfer. Thank you guys.
