<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 4490797, member: 105098&quot;]Yeah. I mean there&#039;s plenty of incomplete lincoln cent collections out there especially in varying levels of circulated that are pretty darn cheap to get the hole fillers out of the way. Seems coin shops when they buy someone&#039;s collection usually has to take them also. I&#039;d say the common dates get anything for starters and upgrade after you&#039;ve saved up for nice key dates, then upgrade the common dates as you go to as close to matching the level of those key dates you bought and you wind up with a nice collection at the end.</p><p><br /></p><p>A lot of issues occur when someone aims too high on a set and can&#039;t afford a nice key to match, like doing BU commons but can&#039;t afford a BU 1909SVDB, or aim too low for the key dates, and get poor key dates to be cheaper and it holds the set back from being nice and uniform.</p><p>I&#039;ve found going cheap on the Commons at first and saving up for the best key dates you can, waiting for the right key dates then upgrading the Commons later leads to a nice complete, closer matched set in the end that actually gets completed and looks good too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
