[QUOTE="clembo, post: 265189, member: 8033"]I'd like to thank everyone for their comments and many I agree with. Like Treashunt said about the quarters - there is room. I actually did the same thing with those although not to such an extent. I do have the complete set with 3 1932-D in G-VG and an F12 32-S. I also bought the complete set from 65-98 all in MS or proof with the silver issues as well. That set has done nicely. As for going after ultra high grade coins I have no plans on that. I'm talking VG to VF or so. A G4 Lincoln is ugly in my opinion but with VG it starts to "look like a coin". This way I'm not tossing a ton of money into these. I've been doing it for some time actually if the price is right I'll buy them. As for key and semi-key Lincolns having high mintages in relation to other series' - this is true. The fact that they are so heavily collected and people have always spent them has driven up the prices. As for me "dabbling" in Lincolns I guess that was the wrong wording. At some point I have managed to amass an almost complete set with lots of dupes. Finally, clembo is NOT tossing all of his eggs into one basket. Any of you that have read my other posts realize that I love my type coins and go after key dates. THOSE I have dropped bigger money on. Thanks again for the comments everyone, clembo[/QUOTE]
