<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 329308, member: 68&quot;]The zinc cents are really underrated.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>You can find extremely high quality coins of most dates without much effort in the mint sets but it&#039;s only because people aren&#039;t collecting them.&nbsp; If they were coins like a nice attractive &#039;84-D would be nearly impossible to find since they account for only about 5% of mint set coins.&nbsp; With the early zincolns look for nice smooth surfaces.&nbsp; On all dates check to be sure the plating is intact.&nbsp; Brand new dies have nice sharp designs and they tend to shear the plating right off the zinc.&nbsp; These coins will be gone in twenty years so nice choice gems are going to get increasingly tough.&nbsp; Collectors will have to be pretty determined with these coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Right now you can pick them up for next to nothing.&nbsp; The mint sts are just a few dollars and you can get most of it back when you sell the other coins.&nbsp; Some of these dates have a very high premium and you won&#039;t get that back so take it easy if you try these.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
