<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Midas, post: 101804, member: 2761&quot;]I think the reason why MS65RD Lincolns will be (or are) hot is because KEEPING them <span style="color: Red">red</span> is a challenge all in its own! </p><p><br /></p><p>Consequently, the survival rate of Wheatie Lincolns in a <span style="color: Red">RED</span> state are getting more and more scarce for a growing numismatic community.&nbsp; I ran into a collector who unfortuntely stored his Lincolns in his attic (in Florida).&nbsp; He was like many of us.&nbsp; He would collect for a while and then walk away only to revamp his collection interest in cycles.&nbsp; When he pulled out his Lincolns, many of them toned severely and there you have it, another Lincoln <span style="color: red">RED</span> BU cent that is not <span style="color: Red">RED</span> anymore!&nbsp; They are more like:&nbsp; <b><span style="color: Sienna">BROWN</span></b></p><p><br /></p><p>Also, finding any reds (even at shows) before 1930 is really tough...unless you have deep pockets.&nbsp; Just look at the prices Heritage and other auction houses are getting for <u>CERTIFIED</u> <span style="color: red">MS65 Red </span>Lincolns before 1930!&nbsp; I saw a 1927-S in MS65 condition go for over $20,000.&nbsp; How about a 1919-S?&nbsp; Sure they minted a bunch (139,760,000), but try finding one in a true <b><span style="color: Red">RED</span></b> MS condition!&nbsp; Here&#039;s one (MS64RD) that IMO is on the verge of going RB that sold for over $1,600!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
