1st Lincoln copper proofs a bargin!!!!!!!!!!!

One other thing and after this I will be signing off.

Those dealers offering the 4-Lincoln all copper proofs for $15.99 is a bargin. I noticed one of the dealers already went up to $19.99 - if you can get just the 4 in the proof plastic case I think they are a steel for under $20! JMO of course.

Why do you think it is a steel?

 

......too late, he already signed off.

 

Apparently so.

Last time I said I would sign off it took another 2 hours of replying before I actually did.

 

The only Steel Pennies I know of are the 1943 Steel Wheat Back Penny

 

???

can't you get the entire proof set for around $40? Why get just the zincolns?

 

I don't think the lincolns in the proof set are plated, pretty sure they are 95% copper.

 

I was under the impression that they were bronze.

 

.......i believe the term bronze is being used to mean the same as copper.

 

You can get the 4 Lincoln copper proofs in the 2009 proof set from the mint for $29.95. Its a total of 18 coins. Dealers selling the 4 lincolns for $20 are making a very nice profit.

but they are two different animals..

 

why would you confuse people more than necessary?

 

The S proofs are original composition, the circ and roll coins are Zincolns

 

We never know will the Mint come out with a special cent Set( all the pennies zinc and copper mint & proof)???

 

Folks,

Ben meant "steal" but typed "steel! He often types too fast and doesn't check his spelling.
