<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jody526, post: 15305, member: 578&quot;]I suppose what many people fail to realize, is that putting off this month&#039;s house payment, in order to enhance your coin collection, doesn&#039;t make good economic sense to most collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, what I consider to be &quot;most&quot; coin collectors, are pretty much the same as I would consider &quot;most&quot; Americans. They go to work, pay their bills, support their family, invest something for the future, and if there&#039;s anything left over, they buy something that makes them happy.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is where the Lincoln cent really shines. </p><p>You see, after all the bill collectors get through with the average American&#039;s paycheck, there&#039;s usually not a whole lot left.</p><p>&nbsp;So how much can he/she spend on coins? (I&#039;ll bet a lot of dealers have asked themselves this same question) LOL</p><p><br /></p><p>To put it simply, Lincolns are cheap. </p><p>Now, I&#039;m not talking about a few key dates, or a few overly hyped varieties, but rather the series as a whole.</p><p><br /></p><p>The face value of a cent is virtually nothing. So, it doesn&#039;t cost anything to collect them from circulation.</p><p>&nbsp;And to buy them? Well a complete set of regular issue, uncirculated Lincoln Memorial cents can be purchased for something like $10. Circulated sets sell for half as much.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, how available are they? </p><p>Well, consider this. Some 360 billion Lincoln Memorial cents have been minted. That&#039;s more than all the other coins produced by every other country in the world, combined, from antiquity until the present.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, why are Lincolns collectible? </p><p>Think about it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
