Message:: [QUOTE="16d, post: 1604235, member: 509"]Juan, it's more of the impact he had on collecting Lincoln varieties, than the time it took him to open the eyes of those who thought their sets were complete. Chuck single-handidly took on this task. A visit to his site(s) will attest to the depth & passion he took on this task.For instance, I knew R.S. Yeoman in Tucson, and he alluded to the fact he had a literal army of researchers & that his focus was on publishing.Chuck would undoubtedly take that 35 year old age with great pleasure. Aside from his recent marriage, he's intent on chasing his 1st passion-art.W/his meticulous eye for detail, whatever comes from this endeavor, will be noteworthy.As far as ziggys remark of "games that come with coins", I know he tired of someone claiming a new double-die or RPM, even an OMM.He knows (most probaby) each possible die pair & whether or not it could even exist. Arguing isn't his style.Some of it had to do with simple merchandising. A few years ago, he was offering an 8-coin '09 LP series in a minimum grade of MS64.He had a set price for each, as these were not offered to the general public, but rather, a group of friends. Many people bought multiples (20 for me) wanting a SUBSTANTIAL break on the price. Just wasn't fair to him, these same sets are fetching 8X what he asked.I have to chuckle when I see 30-50K on certainly the worlds premier collection of Lincoln varieties.[/QUOTE]
