If you had a choice to buy only one of these's,Witch one would you buy,and Why ? October United States Mint Lincoln Coin and Chronicles Set Or Fall 2009 United States Mint Uncirculated Coin Set®
October United States Mint Lincoln Coin and Chronicles Set. Choosen for the 'flip' to return my investment and use that to pay for the subsequent sets for my collection that I'd keep.
Personally I don't like hasles and bulky packaging, I would just get the mint set, crack it out and put it in Dansco Albums.
I agree to the extent that I wouldn't buy either of your choices. With few exceptions, I don't collect anything after 1964. The most notable exception is state quarters.
