    well Not really. Just a pair of 1926 Lincolns.

    The 1926 cent was produced in large numbers for the time , about 157 million and many survive in mint state. The 1926 is a great coin in that a full red example is easy to locate at modest cost. Its cool to have an red Lincoln on ones type set from the 20's.

    The coins below are ANACS MS63 red and a raw MS63 brown. Both have been in my sets for quite a while , a decade or more and are very stable. I prefer most brown or red-brown Lincolns but have a small heard of early reds too that seem to fit right in.

    These early Lincolns are great as a year set since there are few that are rare or hard to locate in attractive lower mint state. I will put a set in a capitol holder one day soon.

    Nice. I am with you - I like BN and RB over the red ones.
