<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheBigH, post: 289359, member: 9866&quot;]Exactly. Right now, I&#039;m working on a book of Lincolns from 1959-1998 in BU and AU (for the more uncommon dates), entirely from bank rolls and pocket change, without purchasing a single coin for more than face value. It may not be worth much even when completed, but it sure isn&#039;t easy, and it&#039;s fun. Many collectors (I know you are not one) will only respect someones set if they are valuable, which means that as long as someone has enough money, their collection is automatically for more important and respectable than the collections of those who collect their series entirely from change. I can bet anyone any amount of money that they will have more fun and more of a sense of accomplishment if they put together their collection from bankrolls. I&#039;ve had a good time, especially when I find a BU older date. In fact, over the past few months, I&#039;ve actually found a pretty flawless, brilliant 1959 D and a 1967 in rolls. Sure, I could have bought those coins for less than 10 cents each, but nothing compares to flipping a shiny coin around the notice that it was minted 48 years ago. Of course, that&#039;s not possible with older coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
