(Just kidding about the snow, it's 81 degrees right now.)While it's far fewer than in previous years, several of you will have a carefully picked numismatic themed present to bring a little extra cheer. Throughout the year, as I find interesting items, I match them to those friends I know will appreciate them. Sometimes it's a hard to find coin, more often it's a low value numismatic oddity or something which will enhance your hobby. They sit in my desk drawer in an envelope with your name on it until December. I've already started on Christmas 2018!
One of the most well received gifts have been the 7 coin BU 1982 Lincoln / Zincoln set, which for reasons unknown to me, are super abundant here in the Bay area. I pick them up whenever I see them and despite having given away many of them throughout the year, I'm left with several.
While the individual coins have little value (although the bottom right is a genuine scarcity), for a casual or new collector looking at all those album slots for the seven different mints, copper, zinc, large and small dates, they can be priceless. And those are the collectors this offer is aimed at. There's a finite number so please don't ask for them unless you can use them.
US addresses preferred due to shipping costs although I'd be happy to mail them overseas to anyone who is willing to pay the cost. They should be able to be mailed by letter post. If I run out before getting to you, just leave me your address and I'll send you a set next time I find some. Happy Easter, Eid, July 4th or Thanksgiving, as appropriate.
In a moment of self interest, if anyone has the similar set for the 1962 varieties..... I'd like one!
