[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1624309, member: 15929"]Truth be told? Any Dansco Lincoln set built or assembled simply with the intention of "filling holes", is simply an exercise. A Lincoln Set built with the finest available coins according to funds availability, is a collection. My advice, since Proof and Mint Sets from 1965 to date are as common as water, is to examine each set and if you can find a "worthy" coin or coins, then open the set. Otherwise, just put it back. For Lincolns, realize, that regardless of which album you choose, some of them, uncirculated or not, are just gonna turn brown over time.[/QUOTE]
