Went to the regional coin show today and wound up buying a set of coins "Lincoln Cents, 1935". The dates 1935 to 1958 (no 36 S) but all others appear to be represented. I bought it mainly because I thought it had a 1946 inverted S in it but now I don't think so. All but a few coins are in BU (red) condition, some beginning to tone quite nicely. The coins are sandwiched between two sheets of plexiglass held together with plastic screws (apparently permanently locked). The coins are seated in individual holes in what looks to be starboard material.
One question is: how badly did I over pay for this at $120; the other, since it is a pain to try to examine the coins in the casing, would you remove them and store them in some other fashion?
I feel like I made a mistake here but even at this price, the lesson is worth it. (I suppose.)
Thanks for any input.
Actually, the '36 S is also included. Missed seeing it somehow.
