Very cool, Don!

Looking at Don's set, it must be a 1954 Proof cent. The only question is: what grade? A PR68 perhaps? I know R&I has had a PR67CAM advertised for some time now. Could that be it?

It is indeed the 1954 PR68 RD Lincoln,that was intheGoldberg collection and auctioned at Long Beach.It was purchased with me in mind by Andy of Angel Dee's.

I must admit,completeing the set without the aid of Cameo and DCAM coins was the goal.I believe this is probably the finest full red brilliant set available.I hope that most will agree with this assesment.A complete set without the added weights of cameo and DCAM coins would be an accomplishment in any series.I hope it will inspire others to try and put together such a set in their series.
