<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BadThad, post: 3785938, member: 17261&quot;]GOOD LUCK! It&#039;s that thinking that has kept collectors and dealers away. They almost universally believe they can just buy a roll or a mint set and pull out MS-68 and higher coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve collected memorial cents for decades and have searched thousands of mint sets, OBW rolls and bank rolls/bags for the highest grade examples I can find. Sadly, the cents in the vast majority of mint sets are MS-65 and lower. OBW rolls are often corroded or contain just crappy 65 and lower coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>1979 is a VERY difficult year for Lincolns. Over-used dies, hits, stains and carbon spots are the norm. 99% of them just look like crap. In fact, I&#039;m still searching for an upgrade! I haven&#039;t even put my current coin into an airtite because I&#039;m hoping to find a nicer one.....and mine is pretty darn nice.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1010936[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1010937[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
