Ever wait twenty years for a coin to show up, only to have...

...another one show up two weeks later?

The auction linked above is for a genuine clipped 1933-D Lincoln cent. In case you missed this thread, through the graces of another Forum member I acquired one for my date set after never seeing or hearing of another for over 20 years.

I swear I sat looking slack-jawed at that auction for almost a full minute before coming here. Instead of bidding on it, I'm going to drop a note to another friend who is working on the same set, there's no point in hoarding all of them. image

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    Ah yes, sweet irony.
    It is not that life is short, but that you are dead for so very long.

    Buy them both - seriously. I can't count the number of times that I only got a coin that I needed for my set because I had something equally rare to trade.

    I know someone working on the same set, I sent him the link and offered him first shot. If he decides for some strange reason not to pursue it, it will be mine. image

    Happened to me with my hunt for a raw 1955 Cameo Proof Franklin. I looked for years and years, never finding a single coin. Then all of a sudden one shows up and a month later another shows up. I bought them both.

    My icon IS my coin. It is a gem 1949 FBL Franklin.

    Maybe. Then again, it could go at a rapid clip.
