[QUOTE="lkeigwin, post: 1173640, member: 30400"]Thanks, nojreyd. I started that set a long time ago and most pieces prior to 1940 have been replaced more than once. I'll never get my money out of it but that's not what collecting is about, right? I keep a "want list" with some dealers, should the right upgrades appear. I have been waiting more than a few years for some. A full set of business strike wheaties is something like 144 coins. That's as far as I want to go. Actually, I do have another 14 memorial cents, '59-'64, because there's some other registry set PCGS calls the "classic set". They're 64-66RD and I'm not proud of a single one of them. Getting much nicer ones will do nothing for my standing and I'm not a fan anyway, so I tolerate them. If I go anywhere further with Lincolns it will be matte proofs.
