[QUOTE="Treashunt, post: 265050, member: 6763"]Regarding the Lincolns cents, I believe that they will react the same way (although earlier) that happened with the Washington quarters, pre-states dates. When they first announced the states quarters program I rushed to finish the 1932-1998 set, including proofs & silver proofs, in as high a grade as I could afford and/or find. I then added additional pieces 'just because'. My #1 set includes 1932 S in AU-55, cost $75, current value= $325 1932 D, AU-50, cost $130, current value= $600. I added a total of #7 1932 D's, all grades from VG to AU, and the Au was the only one to break $100 in cost. plus #8 1932 S's, from G-4 to AU, the AU only cost $75. So, do I think that the Lincolns will follow the trend? Yes, in fact I have already picked up #5 1909 S, from F-12 to VF-30; and #4 1914 D's, from G-4 to F-12. I believe that the greatest possibility for advance ment in this series is in the 'collector grades' and not the ultra high condition census grades. Go for it, you'll be happy in five or six years.[/QUOTE]
