[QUOTE="Twobit, post: 2131637, member: 73939"]Sounds like a very nice set been working on a red lincoln set 1909-2015 myself a little at a time. But laying out that kind of money for raw coins sounds crazy to me. Finding nice carbon free Red coins is the hard part and they do command premiums. You can get them graded in MS65-66 for less then $15 each.(time/patience) The tough ones are the 30's early 40's mm coins 35,36,37,38,39,42 seem to be the toughest though and might have to pay in the $5-$8 (raw) each depending on how bad you want them.(meaning if you can't wait for a cheaper one). But have bought and seen most of them at shows/shops for a buck or two each. For the most part 1968-2008 proofs can be had for about $1 each or less. And the 2009-2015 can be had for $2-$3 each. When buying raw coins you shouldn't price them out using graded coin prices. You can pick up a complete set of 1959-present red lincolns on ebay in the $30-$35 range (sometimes cheaper). I have seen partial sets 1934-2015 on ebay in a dansco sell for about $100-$150 or less. Hope this helps.[/QUOTE]
