Thanks to Marty I was able to put together this set at a reasonable price. Everything but the JFK was purchased from him! And all were recently graded.

    Nice, you young pup you!

    I am trying to do the same, in PCGS, for 1968. Hard to find these years, nice, and for a good price image

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Michael, very nice. I'd be tempted to put those in one of the 5 coin holders.

    It's not ready for the 5 coin holder yet! I'll make a washington in a 69UCAM one of these days!
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    What are the NGC grades on those? If that cent went 69UCAM then I have a PCGS 76DCAM that needs cracking out.

    Congrats Michael, Nice set.

    I am doing a 1976 Proof set in PCGS PR69DC. All I am missing is that dang little lincoln. image
    I have considered sticking a 68DC in there, but I just cant do it.

    << <i>What are the NGC grades on those? >>


    All the coins are 69UCAMs except for the quarter which is a 68UCAM. By the way 76 69DCAM Lincolns are really tough to make.


    << <i>I'd be tempted to put those in one of the 5 coin holders. >>


    Yeah, so am I, but Marty really wants to rape me on the Quarter in 69UCAM, so I might have to wait to see if he can finally make one. Though I am tempted to resubmit the one he sold me. I think I might be able to get it into the 69UCAM slab with a walkthrough submission. I'll have to wait until the next LB show though.

    Thanks everyone, it is a rather nice set and one that will also be a part of my collection because of the sentimental significance of the year. I envision my great-grandchildern looking at the set in the year 2069 and thinking about what the world was like then and wondering why coins are no longer used for commerce. image
