<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SmokeMonkey, post: 329312, member: 6459&quot;]i want to collect mint sets and proof sets for every year since i was born.&nbsp; and i really dont like the idea of cracking open even a mint set for a coin to put into a collection.&nbsp; but the sets are fairly cheap, ive seen them around 8-9 bucks for mint sets from the 70&#039;s, aside from ones with 40% silver ikes and even those are still reasonably priced.</p><p><br /></p><p>heck even uncirculated ikes arent carrying much of a premium and even the proofs arent priced too bad though slabbed ones are like 40 bucks and more but i wont be buying slabbed coins for a collection, that&#039;s crazy talk!</p><p><br /></p><p>i dont like the zincolns because they&#039;re zinc and tend to rot from the inside out from what ive seen.&nbsp; the minting is putting &quot;chinks in the armor&quot; of the copper and soon after that the zinc rots away.&nbsp; ive seen some god awful ones that were not very old.&nbsp; but still they are a very viable option for a collection and are dirt cheap, 1 cent for each one in most cases.&nbsp; im even looking to buy a few rolls of the 08&#039; lincolns hopefully next week at my bank.&nbsp; they&#039;ll all be P&#039;s and ill need to trade a couple rolls for D&#039;s.&nbsp; that will start my roll collection aside from my wheats.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
