Hello everyone! I think another blog post is due, and I've got plenty of news and pickups to cover. I have made several purchases for my type set as well, but I'll save that for a separate blog when I get a type set album. Let's get into it.

Set Registry, Collection Name, and Website
I added my toned Lincolns to two PCGS set registries, circulation strike 1909 - date (ranked #48), and mirror proof 1936 - date (ranked #56). I haven't been able to come up with a fitting set name though. It's going to stick for as long as I have the set, so I need to come up with a good one. Please comment any suggestions. Here are some examples of names of other sets: The Metallurgist, Lincoln Proofs Gone Wild, The Rail Splitter Collection, Prism of Color, and Kaleidoscope of Color. And for my website. I've been taking a course on web design, so naturally I had to build a website for my collection for the fun of it. It's not complete, but most of it is. Links to my set registry and website are below:

Recent Pickups

Now for my recent purchases for my set. A few weeks ago, I bought a PCGS 1964, graded PR66 RB for $55. Compared to some of the other proof dates from the 1960s, it isn't easy to find them with good toning for a decent price, so I'm glad to be able to get it. I haven't got it in the mail yet, but you can see the TrueView down below. After that I came across a stunning PCGS 1944 with shades of purple and green, graded MS64 BN. It was $45, and for that price I simply couldn't turn it down. Last Sunday I was able to win a PCGS 1962 with a solid pink graded PR67 RB, for just $14! I have a BN 1962 at PCGS right now, so once it comes back I might trade it or sell it away. And speaking of trading, I gave up my PR67 RB 1961 a few days ago for a 1961 of the same grade, but with a better variety of color. I have the TrueView images attached below. 

PCGS Submission

The 1962 toned proof that I submitted through a friend is still at PCGS right now, and I probably won't get the results until another month or so. I am already putting together my second submission, and so far I have 3 toned Lincolns. The first is the silver toned 1964 proof that I showed in my previous blog, so I'll skip over that one. A little while ago I bought a 1954 S with some deep blue toning, as well as a bit of purple. It should grade MS65 BN. Most recently, I bought a 1945 with a red and orange obverse, and blue and purple reverse. It should grade MS66 RB. If I don't find any others for the submission, I'll probably be sending them off in a few weeks. 

That's all I have for this blog. Thank you all for reading! Next update should be in a few weeks, probably around Christmas. Stay safe, and keep on collecting. Your fellow numismatist, Timothy
