WOW! I looked at that new Lincoln business strikes complete variety set needing 370 business strike coins and I said again, WOW! I challenge even Stewart to have THAT set at 100% by 2009. That would REALLY be something. Glad I'm not into those kind of varieties, but I am truly impressed with any Lincoln cent collector who is. Good luck. Steve
THANKS DOUG for the update I'm right behind you at #2 for a while. Have a problem with some of my 72 DDO and 97Double Ear and my 1980 DDO not being able to upload maybe not in their system as the same coin. I'll have to contact BJ and see if she can help with these extras I've got in PCGS slabs. I kind of wondered why the economy error listing for submissions went by the way side now I know. Just sent another group in to get graded and slabbed going to be expensive to complete this set at $40 a coin. Sent my 72 DDO#5,6,7 in along with 59DDO, 63D DDO and a super nice 64DDR. Should be hearing from the graders any day now as to these coins. I didn't even see this set coming along so I'm glad I sent these in. Mike. Someday REAL American HERO's will be on our COINS.
Enjoying time at home with the family now is my full time passion.
The price of Anacs slabs just Doubled and on Ebay because of this series. And the cost to get these coins at $15 PLUS grading fees, well, PCGS bottom line just went up. But it is not a very achievable set and I doubt will have many participants due to the interest and cost of the material required. But it will be a good way to show some of the neat examples people have collected that fit no where else. DBmike and Rabbitracks have cools stuff I wish I had.
Now if they would do this for the Lincoln Proofs..well now, I might like that better.

Wow! Thanks for the thread. Congrats to the new set owners. I'm, especially, happy to see WaterSport claim the #1 spot. That's a nice collection and he should be very proud of it's current position.
I'll probably create a collection in the 1909-1964 Classical Lincoln Set. But, I'll probably pass on that complete variety set. Good luck to those who tackle that set. I noticed the 58 DDO is required. Aren't there like only one of those?
Of course, PCGS, in their infinite wisdom, has decided that any coins already slabbed in "mint error" holders will go in as generic instead of the variety on the slab!
Roger, I hear ya. I heard from BJ on the coins I had that wouldn't load and all of my extra 72DDO's, 80DDO, 97Double Ear and even my 1941 DDO are all going to have to go back for reattribution again as well as all the coins they have getting graded right now at PCGS. I have 11 others at home that will be going in someday soon also that hopefully will get attributed and slabbed. Definitely is going to be an expensive endeavor to try and complete this set! But it is still a lot of fun to come across great ERROR'S to fill those slots. Mike. Someday REAL American HERO's will be on our COINS.

Looks like I get to be No. 1, if but for just a moment. >>
Damn! Too bad they're not giving out the awards today for Finest All Time Sets!
I wonder when the IKEs will get updated?

Lincoln Classic Set 1909-1964
Also found out I have to do variety sevice to get my 1941 DDO & 1943-D/D to qualify for this set.
Curiousity(sp) also made me do a "What If" on some of these varieties and found that some do not yet have a coin graded in any grade (BN< RB<RD)
Still an interesting set...

Are they going to add all the same Circ coins to the Complete Variety Set for Circulation and Proofs?
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
Finally!!!
