About this journal

It has been about 3 1/2 years since I posted anything in the journals.  Ever since I sold my 1959-Date Mint State Lincoln Cent Collection to purchase some land in north Florida in 2015 I haven't posted any of the coins I still have in my collection.  I see a lot of my old coins in new sets now and I am glad they have started to find new homes.  If any one you Lincoln cent collectors want to you can view the attached registry award link from my former #1 set and use any of the pictures that robec1347 took for me. https://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/Coins/awards/WinningSetDetail.aspx?AwardSetID=59937.  Had just about every 1959-date mint state Lincoln in the top grade when I sold the set.  I recently added this NGC ancient to my collection.  Hope you enjoy.  As always thanks for looking and Happy Collecting

RIP MY FRIEND

Thank you Bill Hello Collector Society. I posted my previous journal this morning thanking a fellow collector for entrusting me to purchase a large portion of his Lincoln Memorial Set. His mother called me about an hour ago to inform me that he had passed away yesterday. I knew he had been ill but this caught me completely off guard. So I would like to take this opportunity to express my sympathies for his family and friends loss and tonight Bill, as the New Year rolls in I will raise my g

End of the Year Blessings

Passing on a collection from one collector to another First off I would like to wish everyone a Happy and Safe New Year. I would like to take a moment to thank a collector who I was very blessed to do business with this year. I won't mention him by name because I am not sure if he would want me too, but due to circumstances this collector placed his trust in me to buy the majority of his Lincoln Memorial collection. All I can say is how honored I am to give these coins a new home and how bl

Top Ten NGC Lincoln Memorial Set

1998 Type 2 Wide AM NGC MS 66 Hi everyone. One of my goals at the beginning of this year was to finish with my Lincoln Memorial Registry set in the top 10 at the end of the year. My most recent addition has temporarily placed me in 8th amongst these sets. I have a few more sleeper coins that I will be looking for this year that hopefully will keep me in the top 10.

1984 NGC MS68 Double Die Obverse Lincoln Memorial

Nice NGC close up picture-Population of 41 Hi everyone. After I registered this coin and posted pictures that the seller provided NGC posted this close up picture into my set that they had on file for this coin. Nice close details of the doubling of the ears. Just added a few more coins in the last couple of days. As always, thanks for looking and Happy Collecting

I Can Dream About You part II

1984 NGC MS68 Double Die Obverse Lincoln Memorial Finally, ownership has been transferred on my latest Lincoln Memorial purchase. Here it is. A very nice example of this particular Lincoln error date coin. I was able to pick this one up for $400 below list. This temporarily places me in the top 10 for 1959-Present Lincoln Memorial sets. That was one of goals for this year was to finish with this set in the top 10 at the end of the year. I have a couple of sleeper coins that I will be kee

I Can Dream About You

Not Dan Hartman's Hit Hi everyone. I just recently purchased the newest coin for my Lincoln Memorial Set. And yes, you guessed it, I got the dreaded message saying the coin is already registered and the previous owner has 1 week and then the coin will be transferred. Now normally I would patiently wait, but in this case I am so excited I can't stand it. The Lincoln I bought is not the most expensive in my set nor does it have the lowest population but it does have the highest point value of

The Lighter Side of Going Postal

Tales from the Post Office After all the recent post about problems with shipping and receiving coins through the US Post Office and the known mismanagement that plagues it I decided to go down and purchase a 100 rolls of the Forever stamps and place them in my safe. I figure in 10 years if the USPS still exist then stamps will be about $5 each. I could sell mine for $2.50 and make a fortune. Of course I am joking, but it is a thought. Happy Collecting

Another One Bites the Dust - Queen

NGC MS67 1971 Lincoln Memorial Hi everyone. Raining and cool in Florida today and I was just listening to some Queen and working on my sets. Well another coin bought and another slot Bites the Dust. This is my latest addition to my Lincoln Memorial Set. This was also purchased using money from my recent coin sale. Off to a good start this year and I am looking forward to establishing my goals I set for myself. Freddie Mercury-you rocked on in life and you rock on in death. As always, t

NGC MS67 1977D Lincoln Memorial

And a touching tribute Hi everyone. Here is a picture of my latest addition to my Lincoln Memorial Set. Point value is not that great towards my registry set but with a low population of 9 at this level by NGC and none graded higher hopefully that will change over time. Also I would like to take a moment and say that a recent post from Bammer paying tribute to his parents was very touching and appropriate. I think there are a lot of us collectors out there who can thank our parents for ins

NGC MS67 1960D Large Date Lincoln

Another nice Lincoln Memorial Hi everyone. Well, I was able to sell my first lot of coins from my recent estate find. I was made an fair offer and I accepted it. With part of the profits I purchased this Lincoln Memorial for my registry set. I still have a lot more stuff to go through and of course I will be reinvesting the rest into my registry sets. I will set some aside for when the new Presidential Dollars come out. As always, thanks for looking and Happy Collecting

A nice estate find

Small hoard of coins Hi everyone, for those of you that know me you know I mainly collect Lincoln Cents for my registry collections. I am a disable veteran, so yes funds are always a concern when looking for new additions. I go to a lot of estate sales here in Florida looking for coins, autographs and collectibles and every once in a while you find a surprise. I went to a sale not too long ago and notice a collections of coins and currency. I briefly glanced over the items since I did not

NGC MS 67 1948 Lincoln

A nice mint red gem Hi everyone. First off I would like to congratulate all of this years winners. It is great to see who was recognized for their collecting and journalistic endeavors. As many of you know I started really working on my Lincoln registry sets this past year. I sold off an entire set of MS 70 $5 American Gold Eagles last year to pursue my first passion. This is my latest addition to my Lincoln Wheat Cents. Nice mint red gem. My goals this year are to be in the top 10 for

For What It's Worth

Not Buffalo Springfield's 1967 Song Yes, this is a protest. There's something happening here, what it is ain't exactly clear. Recently one of the society members wrote a journal about bidding on coin lots on some internet auction sites that just up and disappear. Well, this just recently happened to me and i am going to name names. About a week ago I participated in TeleTrades coin auction for that night. Now, in the last month and a half I have spent about $5000 on their auction site upg

Lyin' Eyes-Not the Eagles 1975 Hit Song

Doctored photographs Hi everyone, as a lot of you know I have been working hard on all my Lincoln Penny Registry sets and I have had a lot of help and friendly competition and met some new friends as well. I bought a coin the other day from Ebay that was encased in a PCGS holder and the seller provided very detailed close-ups of the coin and all looked good. Now the close-ups are similar too the ones that you would find on TeleTrades auction site. Let me also say right now that the coin was

Please release Me, Let Me Go

Remove your coin/coins from your registry How often have you bought a new coin that you were very excited to add to your registry set only to find out that the coin is still registered or ownership of that coin still belongs to someone else? Then you get the dreaded message that it will take up to a week unless the previous owner relinquishes the coin. If you sell or cosign your coin for sale, please take the time to do so. In the mean time I will be singing Please Release Me, Let Me Goooo.

1969 NGC MS67 Lincoln Memorial

Population of 12 Hi everyone, here is another addition to my Lincoln Memorial set that I recently acquired. I have been adding to all of my Lincoln set for those of you who have read my recent journals. I still feel the same joy that I did as a child every time I find a new coin for my collection. Isn't it fun. As always, thanks for looking and Happy Collecting.

1973D NGC MS67 Lincoln Memorial-Population of 6

What a Pretty Penny Here is one of my latest additions to my Lincoln Memorial set. This is by far my lowest population penny of any date. Not the greatest point value as far as slot scores go but I think it more than makes up for that due to its extremely low population of 6. I will be adding some more photos to all my Lincoln sets this week so check back when you can. As always, thanks for looking and Happy Collecting.

1983D NGC MS68 Lincoln Memorial-Population of 12

Blast Red Wow, once again I was able to pick up and add another top population Lincoln Memorial Cent to my registry set. I paid 66% under list price for this coin. I don't know if this is due to the market or if only a few of us were watching this coin when it came up for sale. Will be adding more to all my Lincoln Sets as I get them in and I hope you enjoy the pictures. As always, thanks for looking. Have a great day.
