[QUOTE="Ed Zak, post: 33543, member: 824"]My passion is Lincolns. Other the years, I have bought, sold and updated my Lincolns (many times). I have all of the dates EXCEPT for a 1922 Plain Strong Reverse and a 1955 Double Die Obverse. Technically, since these are varieties and I have the rest, would that constitute a completed set? After all, no 1922 cents were minted in Philadelphia and the 1955 double die was a huge error/variety accidentially released to the public...so much for my case. Also, I have seen and read about registry sets (PCGS, NGC, etc.). Is it worth it? Is it just an ego thing? It might be nice to know that I have the 447th ranked Lincoln cent set [I am just making the number up :) ], but what is it really about? [I]Sounds like a question about the meaning of life...hate to be so dramatic.[/I] Thanks for your inputs...[/QUOTE]
