We have just discovered one of the best collecting opportunities we have seen in many years and want to bring it to your attention. You may be aware that Lincoln cents are one of the most popular and widely collected coins in America. Prices for the highest grade certified coins sell for $5,000, $10,000 or even $20,000 each! This is why we are so excited about a special new certified collection of 2009 Lincoln Cents we have just been offered and are making available to our online customers.

In 2009 to commemorate Abraham Lincoln's Bicentennial, the United States Mint issued four new one time only designs called Birth and Early Childhood in Kentucky, Formative Years in Indiana, Professional Life in Illinois and The Presidency in Washington DC. These coins have proven to be an instant hit with collectors, with several thousand people attending special launch ceremonies across the nation. Westminster Mint is now able to offer complete 20-coin sets of Lincoln Cents certified by ANACS, the oldest rare coins grading and certification service in America. These sets have all four Proof coins struck at the San Francisco Mint. These coins have been certified in the highest grade possible PR70 DCAM. Also in this set are eight satin finish burnished collector coins made on specially adapted coining presses at the U.S. Mint. These coins have been certified SP69 and are currently the highest grade awarded for a complete set of satin Finish coins. Finally there are eight regular issue circulation strike coins. Coins of this quality would normally grade in MS63 or BU condition However, because these are First Release coins they are available in MS67, again finest known for a complete set. What sets this collection apart from others is that each coin is certified finest known and comes in First Release pedigree holders. Each set is individually numbered out of just 476 sets. This is a tiny number and means that less than 10 sets are available to collectors in each state of the union. The small limited edition size is printed on each holder. A casual glance at a price guide pcgs link for Lincoln cents in regular and Proof condition in grades less than in this set shows the extreme value of this collection. Additionally there is $400 worth of grading fees to make this collection. This truly is a seldom seen opportunity to get in on the ground floor on an exclusive collector item that has a large following.

* Unique opportunity to acquire a complete set on coins

* Highest grade certified collection on the market
* Certified limited edition of just 476 sets - less than 10 per state!
* Each set is individually numbered so there is no dispute about the edition size
when it comes time to sell this collection or hand it down to future generations
everyone will not its value.
* Each coin is sonically sealed in special "First Release", tamper proof holders
* Proof coins, satin finish and regular issue coins from San Francisco, Denver and
Philadelphia
* Compact deluxe wood presentation case included in the price.
* $400 in grading fees alone!
* Excellent value when measured against high grade certified coin prices for
Lincoln cents issued since 1909

Proof and Satin finish sets have original 95% copper composition

Sincerely,
Westminster Mint

2009 First Release Lincoln Cent Collection

Westminster needs the late Billy Mays to pitch this deal.

Re: FYI: Only 476 Sets! Less than 10 sets per state!

I would not buy a dollar for a nickle from these guys.

Re: FYI: Only 476 Sets! Less than 10 sets per state!

Lol, southfork. Have you read my post in PM Dealer Feedback about WM?

Funny about the Billy Mays remark, I was thinking something similar when initially reading it as well...

It reminded me of a time I was at a Thai resteraunt. I was laughing out loud at the wine menu. There were on average 9 adjectives in a 12 word sentence for each wine! lol My golly, what lengths they will go to!

Thanks again for the opinions.

Re: FYI: Only 476 Sets! Less than 10 sets per state!

Hey I got a deed to the GOLDEN Brooklyn Bridge from the 1880s that was in the family. I'll photo copy it and sell it to you for $500 too like the LINCOLN CENTS!

Let's see Kinkos wants 8 cents minus the envelope and stamp - I'LL make over $499 dollars on this SO then I can BUY YOUR set for FREE!

Right? :504:

Re: FYI: Only 476 Sets! Less than 10 sets per state!

Lol, sounds like a good plan!

Maybe you can scrounge up a few more fiat notes to make someone a profit on these wonderfully superb, strikingly respectable, ultra premium, dashingly handsome, superbly hand crafted, official genuine Chinese labor camp made United States Mint fancy zinc disc holders!

Yes, I am sure they will not(sic) its value. Typo or did the writer mean naught?

Sonically sealed? WTH is that? "Shut up mofo, you done been sealed!"

Ah yes, "tamper proof holders." It's for the children, ya know.

I have some rolls of assorted date wheat pennies that have been professionally polished to their original mint fresh proof finish. Only $1,500 a roll. Supplies are llimited.

Ya'll think Westminster would be interested?

Re: FYI: Only 476 Sets! Less than 10 sets per state!

I got one in my change from McDonalds after buying a happy meal for my kid.

Only need to buy a dozen or more happy meals, and I will have the complete set!!

Thanks Ronald McDonald!! :elefant:

I personally Don't really "get" Numismatics.

But, "To each his own"

Some folks collect expensive art

Some collect antique Furniture (I like it, but can't afford it)

Me, I like stuff that has True value

My wife looks for rare pennies while she sorts coppers. Kinda like a treasure hunt I guess.

I don't have the patience for that.
