Hello all,

Would someone please expalin to me how the registry point value of Lincoln cents works? I read the PCGS info but it's a bit confusing. For example exactly how does a person determine if it's better for their set to have a particular coin in 64 RD or 65 RB. I apologize for asking a question that probably everyone on this board knows the answer to but your time is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

EJ

    EJ,

    First of all, which is "better" is up to you. If you like a pretty toned red/brown coin then that is what you should collect. Same holds true for blazing red coins.

    As far as the wieghts for each date and bonus for color designation, that can be found on the main registry page for the Basic set 09-58. There is a link there in the set description.

    Hope that helps,

    Jack

    If you have an ms65rb, and it says a bonus of 1 for that date in rb, it is like having an ms66. If you have a 64rd and it has a bonus of 3 for that date in rd, it is like having an ms67. Like Jack mentioned though you should collect what you like. I replaced my 64rd 18-s (bonus of 4 or like an ms68) with a 65rb (bonus of 1 or ms66) because I liked the ms65rb coin more.
