How much should a Lincoln cent collection cost?

coinsarefun

I am trying to finish a Lincoln Cent collection. I need the years
1909-1935 in VG to XF condition. How much should I look to spend on it excluding 1909-S, 1909-S VDB, 1914-D &1931S.
Can you give me a ballpark idea please.

A total set from 09 to 2006 in lower grade with proof
and proof only--1400/1800 bucks.
Ignoring blunder coins like the 1922 no D ect.

Probably around $150-200.

if willing to go down to VG,

I would suspect you can do it for $150 one day at a local coin show

Sans in XF 24-D, 21-S an 11-S etc, etc, etc.

It's best to set a budget and make that work. You could do it in G-VG for $150-$200. I have a tone of extra's let me know if you want some help.

Couple hundred bucks. I'd recommend nothing below a Fine for a Lincoln and nothing below a VF for the common dates.

I'd say you did ok, maybe I was a little lowball on my original price quote...

However, if I were you, once you receive the set, I'd upgrade some of those (the common ones in there in low grade) coins. For example, that 1912 in the album is a Good. For about 50 cents, you can get one in Fine.

$150 for the whole short set w/o the keys???? Today's market, $3K easy.

The 14S is just $20-30 even in Fine condition. If you want to take some VGs off my hands for $75, please let me know. BTW, I don't think anyone understood the original question; I think he meant VG for the semi keys and then higher grades for the commons, which is very doable for under $300. Don't turn the guy off before he even gets started.
