I'm thinking that I am beating around the wrong bushes at the moment.

My focus is Lincolns. Always has been. It stands to reason that I got excited when I saw the long-standing Memorial reverse coming to an end and was looking forward to adding these new coins to my collection.

Forget it!

Even Memorials are selling at exorbitant prices.

I challenge anyone to look over the census of the 1930's Lincolns and compare quality and rarity and price to the modern 09 and Shield coins.

I've always thought that the 30's coins have been overlooked. I think I am going to go for a short set of 30's while the hype runs it's course.
