<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 2458859, member: 77413&quot;]Thanks for posting these, Thad.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had been putting together a year set of early Lincolns, and had gotten from 1909 up to about 1936. (Still missing &#039;22.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I went to the LCS and he had a sad-looking Dansco 8100 with everything in it from 1934 to 1991. (The earlier stuff had been cherry-picked out.) The collector filled in the empty holes with 15 extra proofs 1957-1972S.</p><p><br /></p><p>This set obviously would not appeal to everyone, and I think it had been there for a while. But for me it dovetailed perfectly with my year set. So I offered to swap some ASE&#039;s for it, we agreed on 14 of them, and the set is now mine.</p><p><br /></p><p>The original collector really put together a nice set. Now it&#039;s tough acquiring 185 beautiful ungraded red cents all at once and appreciating them. (OK, not <i>that </i>tough.) Your pictures are perfect for me. I can look at these posts, look at my own example, compare and contrast. It&#039;s helping me appreciate just how fine this set is.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is educating me on coins I never thought I would collect - I mean they were pocket change when I was a kid!</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s one example of the extra 1959 proof, since everyone likes pictures! I took a quick reverse pic in the Dansco.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]514978[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]514980[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]514981[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
