<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Moen1305, post: 727915, member: 2544&quot;]O.K. maybe it isn&#039;t all that brilliant but it works for me.&nbsp; I need two more Lincoln Chronicles sets for Christmas gifts but I don&#039;t want to pay the inflated prices that they are fetching currently on ebay.&nbsp; What to do....?</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is what I came up with.</p><p><br /></p><p>When the original proofs of the Lincoln silver commemoratives came out, I bought 5 of them.&nbsp; I only needed three and planned to sell the other two. I kept asking people what the difference between these proofs and the proofs in the chronicles set were and it seemed the only real difference was the packaging.&nbsp; Eventually, the people that have their sets slabbed sell off the packaging for next to nothing because most people see it as having little value.&nbsp; If I buy the empty sets and put my own Lincoln proofs in and my own 95% copper cents in ( I have pleant of those) who could tell the difference?&nbsp; </p><p>There is none!&nbsp; I save money by not paying inflated prices and I get exactly what I need.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the packaging includes the certificate, the plastic holders, and the box, what do you see as the only flaw in my idea?&nbsp; If one exists.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
