Here we go again Lincoln collectors.

RegistryNut

Thanks to Tazmic/mas3387 for alerting me to the 3 new Lincoln Commemorative Registry sets. There are 3 seperate sets for proofs, business strikes, and satin finish examples. Well, since I own these coins, I thought I may as well create my own 3 new sets. When you create your new set, you can just click a link, and your highest rated coins will be entered into the set. So, that's what I did, and all 3 sets were created and appear on the PCGS website. I'm thinking all of my 2009 Lincolns are now represented in the 3 new sets. Not! The set for circulation/business strikes contains my Satin Finish coins. In fact, the business strike set is identical to the Satin Finish set. Here we go again! Satin Finish coins allowed in a business strike set. Geeze, is it 2005 all over again? So, my 8 2009 business strikes are not represented and are homeless, once again. Any thoughts? Should I be shaking my head, or just blow it off?

I suggested the following sets to be added:

Set 1 Business Strike only

Set 2 Satin Finish only

Set 3 Complete Variety set Business Strike and Satin Finish

Looks like a bit of confusion again !!!!

Let’s get it right from the start, PLEASE

I guess they FINALLY got it part part right this time. Just get rid of the circ set that allows either coins and all would be OK...I think.

Thanks RegistryNut !!! Now all Business Strike

AllCoinsRule - Thank you

RegistryNut

I have done the right thing! I have deleted my Satin Finish coins from the circulation set, and replaced them with my circulation coins. I feel better now, and hope that PCGS will change the rules, and only allow these correct coins. I also hope that all Registry Set participants won't register Satin Finish coins into the circulation set. So far, every set is correct. Congratulations to all regarding this choice.

I don't have any Lincolns sets going...but the way you describe it seems like it would be completely unfair to those who actually collect the business strikes. Wouldn't this just be a PCGS error that they need to fix or am I thinking too naively here?

RegistryNut

lope - You are exactly correct and hopefully, in the future, the circulation set will not accept Satin Finish coins.

<< <i>The Lincoln Commemorative Series (CS 2009) will allow for either/or; Satin Finish or non-Satin Finish coins. The Lincoln Commemorative Series Satin Finish (CS 2009) will only accept Sating Finish coins. >>



Here we go again !!!!

3 new sets for 2009 Commemorative Lincoln's

1 - Satin Finish ONLY
2 - Ciriculation Strike ONLY (NOT!!!) Either/ Or, 2005 all over again
3 - Proof ONLY

I will be retiring my set since it can't be right

That will be like having 2 Satin Finish sets before its over...Someone up there, think about it.

RegistryNut

So far, the circulation Registry set has 8 participants. All participants have registered only their circulation strikes. Not one Satin Finish coin has been registered, even though these coins would carry a higher grade point average. The evidence is clear, that the set participants do not want Satin Finish coins allowed in the circulation set. The composition needs to be changed by PCGS. And it needs to be changed for one important reason. We, the collectors, should be able to collect what we want. Not what we are told to collect!

Update:

Just received news that the Circulation Strike set is now just that, NO SATIN FINISH!!!! An error was made when setting up the sets and now has been corrected

Thanks PCGS

RegistryNut

I love it when a plan comes together ...

Now if we could only get them to correct ALL THE OTHER LINCOLN sets and keep the satins out of the BS sets.

Did you also notice that Satins are now listed with SMS cents in the price guide????

Are we going to see Pure proof sets some day????? with SMS cents removed???? or Satins ADDED to the Proof series.
