Do these sets command any premium with a partial a number in the date?

    I think there are more of the disappering 3 proof sets then regular ones.
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

  • Total nonsense. The three is plainly visible when the set is in-hand. The three on the cent becomes difficult to photograph and/or blends in with the field only when the coin is angled just right.

    I and thousands upon thousands of collectors have these so-called "vanishing three" sets. They are nothing special and the only kicker one should add to the price of these absurdly common sets is a gullibility premium.

    No way! PCGS has graded these Lincoln cents in PR70DCAM because of the nature of the strike in this series. I think the later sets had a stronger 3, but not by much. It's worth the issue price and I think you can still order them from the US mint in silver!
