<p>[QUOTE="johnny54321, post: 410126, member: 13342"]Hello wheatman. I began collecting wheats as a child, and just recently completed my set(minus the 22 plain). I agree that a well matched set looks better. What I did was make an excel spreadsheet of all my Lincolns, my opinion of the grade, and then highlight certain year/mintmarks of the ones I feel I should eventually upgrade. The grades I have range from VG to BU, so it is currently quite unmatched. All my VG coins are marked in red on the excel sheet(immediately upgrade), where as my Fines are in yellow(eventually upgrade). All the ones VF or better are in green, as my goal is eventually to have the entire wheat set in VF or better.</p><p> </p><p>All this to say, I think you should determine what grade you are going for in your set, and then be consistent with your upgrades and additions to match the set. Also, I agree with the fact that you shouldnt compromise to get a coin with a problem. Wait for a problem free coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
