Message:: [QUOTE="Coinman1981, post: 700137, member: 20610"]Thanks, Arizona Jack. Yes, I am going to keep my eyes on those early mintmarked teens. As I am going for a BN Good-Fine approach for everything before 1927-1930, I am not talking about relatively large outlays of money except for the keys, most of which I have purchased.  But I have to confess, I experienced sticker-shock. I last did Lincolns in the mid-90s (though never bought any keys or semis), and came back last year after spending years in other areas of the hobby. Wow---those Lincolns that would have cost me $5-15 each 12 or 15 years ago are now up beyond $30 and $40 in many cases :crying: Examples: The 1992 Edmund's retail price book I used to price my Lincolns in '92 and '93 shows an '11-S at $9.50, '12-S at $8.50, '13-S at $6, and '14-S at $6.50, all in Good. Wow, did my eyes widen after not paying Lincolns much attention for all those years! Of course, I could now easily lay out $150-200 to buy those four coins in low circulated grades!  Still, that is not bankbreaking money, but when on a budget, that is enough to make me want to lay out some bit of a strategy as to which coins to pick up next. Thank you for your insight. :thumb:[/QUOTE]
