[QUOTE="bhp3rd, post: 580774, member: 16510"][b]Please heed the others advice,[/b] Please heed the others advice, you are going to need as $20,000 to $40,000 do exactly what you said and that's if you can even find them. You left out many fine points of things to consider. 1, Are you going to want to get the 14-D, 22-NO D, and the 55 doubled die in full Red mint state? What about the 26-S, 24-D, and 15-P? Those 6 coins would cost $30,000 in MS-64 Red. Not to mention the early proofs. What you may want to consider is keep you set. Read, read, read and learn, learn and learn. Find a comfortable middle ground say MS-64 RB or Brown for the earlier dates. Select them slowly and find what pleases you the most knowing that will probably change as time goes on. Get Capital holders and keep them in a controlled environment - that's the best you can do. Each month people bring me early Lincoln's that they bought as mint state red coins and they have all been cleaned or colored even from the "big" dealers in Coin World so be very careful.[/QUOTE]
