Due to some serious personal problems I'm having to offer my Lincoln Proofs to serious offers.Please contact me with offers.
I should have listed the coins.My mind is not with it.I have been a serious Lincoln collector for many years.The quality and Eye Appeal of these coins is great,with the exception of the 1912 Matte Proof IMHO.Most who know me would agree.All coins are PCGS certified.I will offer a two week return policy.I am sure it will not be necessary though.It has been pointed out to me I should have placed a value on these.

1911 PR64 BN $400

    Don,

    Bummer. You might post a link to your registry, or tell us your registry name and I'll post a link for you. I hope things look up for you.

    Best wishes,

    Best of luck to you Don. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help out. I appreciate you taking the time to look at a few of my proofs a while back. Hopefully we'll see you back here....rebuilding one day.

    Ebay might be your best bet after all the members have had their chances. If you don't have alot of listing experience on eBay...I do. I would be more than happy to list your coins for you AT NO CHARGE.

    Sorry to hear your problems Don. I met you at a Frederick, MD show last year and saw your folder of proof Lincolns.

    I have seen Don's Lincoln sets many times over the years. I can't think of anyone who has a more impressive set of Lincolns. Whoever gets any of his coins should feel honored. Don has spent a long long time in acquiring just the right coins. Whatever happened must be real serious in order for Don to be doing this. I hope someone who really appreciates Lincolns can help him out.

    Don's reputation for choosing great coins must be pretty well known - barely 24 hours and nearly everything is gone already!

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    I have seen most of these coins and even attempted to photograph them for him some time ago.


    some nice stuff and Don certainly knows his stuff!


    by the looks of the list, it appears that everyone else knows it as well!

    I hope that the sale of these is enough to help you Don!
    Here is a pic of Don's 1910 for reference....
