Collecting Nut I Know What You Feel Like

It isn’t on par with those fabulous gold and junk silver finds that @Collecting Nut shows, but it was cool….. My mom is coming to visit in a few weeks so my wife is making me participate in spring cleaning against my will…….. We visited DC in 2009 and I had forgotten that I purchased a stack of these 2009 Lincoln sets. I don’t remember if I got them at the Smithsonian or at Fords Theater but it was a fun little find. Should I get them graded? LOL!!

Spring cleaning already? Did I sleep for a couple of months?

 

No, he lives in the south.

 

I’d leave them as is. You can handle them this way and they are all protected.

 

Spring cleaning isn’t so bad after all is it? Lol

 

Yes

 

Well, at least it will be clean come spring. Lol

 

I think they are cool the way they are. Having them graded wouldn't be worth the cost, IMHO.

 

I'm sorry

 

Oh, I was completely teasing about that.

 

I esp like "the formative years"...we live just a few miles down the road from the split rails of the Lincoln farm in Spencer Co., Indiana, where for 14 years from 1816-1830 the Lincoln family lived (his mother died and is buried there...now the Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial) and where Lincoln spent those most formative years reading/learning by candle/oil light after working in the woods and up/down the river all day. I have two unopened rolls of formative years cents from 2009 plus of course the other unc and proof bicent sets (and no fading/toning as yet on the ones I can fully see!).

 

I have a box of each of these four years. No toning, no problems. I have have this, which it already toned after a few years. I purchased them directly from the mint as a set.

 

Almost spring where he lives but you and I are cold.

 

Trying to find my shorts so I can escape this slave driver.

 

I would have gotten sidetracked after I found them. You know, take the drawers out and look under them, etc.

 

The slave driver wants me to go thru my clothes now! What happens if I lose sixty pounds and bell bottoms come back in style?!?!

 

I had a few rolls of the Log Cabin that I just recently went through. They were all in Mint wrappers and every coin had toned. It's a pretty cherry peripheral toning but a word of caution...I believe eventually, no matter how well stored, they are all going to tone. And some may not turn out well. Such is the curse of these zinc coins. And mine were stored properly.

 

You could say that. Wind chill -20 right now.

 

For those with a "significant other", cleaning may be whenever.

JMHO
