Those coins all appear attractive, well matched in terms of color, and look to be a great set. Not everything has to be MS-65 RED. I really like the look of your set. I actually often prefer patinated (Brown) copper, because it is far more stable.</p><p><br /></p><p>I myself am currently working on a VF-EF early Lincoln set (the very definition of mid-grade circulated). Similar to you, my grandfather gave me the start of this set. I've been upgrading and filling the holes for the last 15 years (it hasn't been my main priority, but it is important to me). My grandfather started my collection when I was very young, and he passed away last year. </p><p><br /></p><p>My concern was that a 65RD key date would look out of place with a AU Brown coin. If the later dates are UNC, that helps - but you didn't show us any of the later pages.
