21 Years To Complete This Set!
Coppercolor
Posts: 1,475 ✭✭✭
It took 21 years but just last week I completed the full 140 coin lincoln wheat cent collection with PCGS colorfully toned coins. The last coin was a modest 1923S PCGS graded monday that had target reverse rainbow color. It's #6 in the colorless lincoln registry but it might be #1 if the collectors with red lincoln sets minded their manners and stayed in the other registries.

I also upgraded this great coin thanks to Dale Larsen (1922D in PCGS 66RB) and a few others.
Honk if you approve!
and this 1934D in PCGS 66RB
and this 1950D in PCGS 65RB I bought raw from Dick Abraham
And this 1938D in PCGS 66RB I bought raw from Charmy Harker

BTW- What did PCGS intend with a colorless set?

Does this mean you don't need that lowly 38-D in 66BN?

They really shouldn't allow Red coins in this set.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
Why can't we see your set? I love the coins you showed here!

Incredible!

Congratulations on the set!
21 years is a life mission. you can not only be proud of your accomplishment, but we on this forum are also very proud of you. You are correct about the difficulty of collecting sets of toned coins. I collect IHC proofs (Paha Sapa Indians in the registry) and MPL's (Centennial Cents in the colorless registry). I need only three (and two crossovers) for the IHC set, and I hope it does not take me a total of 21 years to find them toned and 66 or better.
Sleep well tonight dreaming of colored copper.

Way to go Jeff, what a great set. Having seen a few of your babies in person, I look forward to seeing the complete set. Perhaps at FUN in January? Oh, and I'm thrilled you own a few I provided. Makes me feel a part of the set.
Congrats my friend...

Adding to the amazement is the toning. So nice.
Happy for you.

You have a lot of patience. I'll give you a double honk too.
More than patience, I enjoyed the incredible goodwill and help of many friends, dealers and collectors. I wouldn't want to begin to name them but if you look at my registry I try to attribute credit to every person who helped me find a coin in the set.
Beep, Beep, and double Beep!!!!

Jim, it's been fun collecting with you and I'm glad to have a number of great pieces from you.
I think I'm going to plan on taking it to Winter FUN 2017.
Once upon a time Don Willis expressed some interest in helping display it but he might not even remember. I'm pretty sure I can count on a number of dealers helping me at any rate. There is only the matter of tables and cases, as I have enough rainbow lincolns to fill three glass cases.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

Really impressive. I'd love to own nearly every one of those.
I really like that 1922-D

What a monumental collection. That '22-D toner is NUTS!

Perhaps PCGS will provide a bulk discount to have them all in TrueView. I'd ask...
Jeff,
Just a thought, but maybe we (you, me and Rainbowroosie) could get a table to display our entire collections. Your awesome Lincoln's, my complete Roosie Set (Seven Stars) in NGC MS67*/MS67+*/MS67*FT/MS67FT+* and Bills #1 Roosie Set. Maybe Onlyroosies would bring his #1 PCGS Roosie Set.
It would be really cool to see that much color in one place. Would blow ones mind.

Jim, I'm In! We're going to need a hell of a long table, won't we?

P.S. That 22-D is absolutely sick!
