Oh that's it!!!! First, Tom Klingensomething and now you! I've warned you before about this. I have no choice now but to launch an all out offensive Once I figure out where I'm going to come up with $50,000, it'll be to the top 20 for me. Well, actually $50,000 will probably only move me up a couple spots, it will nonetheless vanquish my adversaries!
Upward and onward....Hey, anybody got $50,000 I can borrow
Oh sure, kick sand in my face while I'm down. We'll, I'll have you know that I've got 200 bucks also, and I have a change jar that I haven't counted up for at least three months! Stand aside, I'm coming through....
Looks like I'm going to have to resort to getting a second job. I'll be back in a couple of hours.... going to go around the neiborhood to see if anyone needs their grass mowed. :-)
Ahhh. I remember those days...
You could always build another set.... something of the bn/rb persuasion this time? How's those commems coming along?
Don't worry Stewart, when I get to #2 I've got a special can of whoop ass for you. Of course, I may not remember where I put it by the time I get there!
Jack- Go get that home equity line and start bidding on my coins in the LB Auction. Since it is a complete set....you onlly need to bid on all of the dates that you don't currently have. Once completed you will move up over 10 spots. See how easy that is. I will sell you any 10 coins in my set for that 50k. You can choose whichever 10 dates you want. Ok...I am just dreaming...but you should be doing your part to bid up and drive up the prices on these lincolns...ha ha. On another note...will you be in LB for the Auction? I am hoping to meet a few of my fellow Lincoln collectors...even if I am selling my set. It will be auctioned at the 1PM session on June 3rd.
Aw, too bad you can't see what coins Tom Klingensmith has. Wow, over 68 GPA! Marc's set is so impressive to me and it is only 67.7 or so. Not that many sets can be over 68 for there aren't even that many coins! There could only ever even be 62 near gem red sets!
Good luck again Marc! I'm sorry I'm not going to make it to the show afterall.

LincolnCentMan!!! DAMMIT BOY!!!!
Well KTN took care of that $200... I just bought a 32-P in 66RD from him. I'll own the coin as soon as payment gets there, but now he's got four hundred bucks in his arsonal... and a jar with three months of change in it. Man, if he keeps this up, Marc will be a very happy man, and I'll be 8-9 spots behind JKN in a couple of weeks.
Now if I can get 130 lawns to mow, I can get a 14-D in 65BN .
David those texas lawns are very large, are you sure you do not just want to work in fast food? You can go through the change and get me some nice errors!!!
I know. I mow my front yard one day, and the back yard the next. I've never found anything of substance in circulation. Well, I guess that isnt entirly true. I used to go through Kennedy Halves from the bank. I pulled 18 90%'ers and three rolls of 40%'ers out of a bag of $500 one time.
From just change, I've never gotten anything better than scrap silver.
This thread makes me wonder: How high in the Lincoln wheat basic circ. set can you go if no one above you sells their set, (i.e. can anyone get in front of Stewart?, 2nd place?, etc.)
Just curious as to opinions on this...

I think that it is very hard to buy real top pops these days. They are avaible, but I think most nicer ones (the real pop pops) are already in the top sets......

Naah...I always figured my red set would wind up rb/bn sooner or later, anyhow.

Very interesting question, so much so that I am going to repost it, if you don't mind, as a separate thread.
