Dropped a spot in the Lincoln Wheat circ. registry

Coppernicus

Logged on, checked ranking, went from #26 to #27. What!?! Scrolled up (not far enough) to check on the "Adds" - No luck - But then!!! - a new set (nice numbers but hidden! )

Ah well, must persevere!!

Actually, I'm not obsessed with the ranking because I get to drool over the cents I have which is great! e.g. I have a 1918-P graded 64RD in a first generation holder (which doesn't fit in the PCGA box - drat!) BUT, this coin should reside in a 66, IMO, based on its strike and color (its eye appeal is beyond description - it just leaps out at you!!) Thus, rankings are rankings and beauty is beauty!

Ultimately, thats what true collectors feed off of!

Yeah, the circulation wheats are brutal. I made it up to #29 for a brief period of time, but was bumped all the way down to #36 within the week. Now I'm #37. I'm not too concerned, as I've been focusing more on my Buffalos lately, and some of the Lincolns were becoming outrageously priced. I'll work on them some more eventually, but I'm in no hurry.

MastaHanky - Outrageously priced may be an understatement! I've been sniped on several key dates in the last few weeks (mostly 65RD's) and I couldn't believe what they went for. The 09S-VDB in 65RD last week(?) comes to mind. Throw out the pricing sheets!!

It seems like that for alot of dates.
The Lincoln market is very strong right now.

Brutal is the word!! I've been hunting for a few to finish but the prices and quality are lacking. Just need to keep working on the type set or the Mercs until the Lincolns cool down a bit. Granted, I love the series but the prices are becoming Insane!!
