\n

DLRC is offering the TropicalBats Registry Set \u2014 a high-ranking Lincoln cent collection \u2014 across two consecutive Red Carpet Rarities auctions now underway, with closings scheduled for April 16 and April 23.<\/p>\n

\"TropicalBats<\/p>\n

Ranked #8 All-Time Finest and currently #5 in the PCGS Registry Set of Lincoln Cents, Complete Variety Set with Circulation and Proof Strikes, the collection is nearly complete, totaling 586 coins with numerous scarce varieties seldom seen on the market.<\/p>\n

Collection to Fund Penn State Scholarship<\/strong><\/p>\n

The coins are not the only impressive aspect of the collection. Proceeds from the sale will be used to endow a scholarship at Penn State University, according to consignor Keith Christenson, a graduate in Wildlife and Fisheries Science.<\/p>\n

\n

“I opened my registry set in 2024 with the ambitious goal to complete it \u2026 by the end of 2025,” Christenson said. “It finished in the number 5 spot at 97.61% complete, an accomplishment I am extremely proud of.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Christenson added that the sale marks both the culmination of his collecting goal and a way to support future wildlife biologists.<\/p>\n

\n

“One of my long-term goals has been to set up and endow a scholarship \u2026 I am beyond ecstatic to say that the sale of this Lincoln Cent collection will be used to endow the scholarship,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

No-Reserve Offering Across Two Auctions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Due to its size, the collection is being split across two Red Carpet Rarities auctions at DLRC, with all lots offered without reserve.<\/p>\n

According to DLRC President John Brush, the collection represents both strong collector appeal and a meaningful cause.<\/p>\n

\n

“Lincoln Cents have long been one of our favorite and most popular series,” Brush said. “Even more motivating is that all proceeds from these two auction events will go toward helping young minds grow into fulfilling careers.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Highlights Span Key Varieties<\/strong><\/p>\n

The registry set includes a wide range of notable Lincoln cent issues across multiple decades and strike types.<\/p>\n

    Collection Name Reflects Dual Passions<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The collection\u2019s name, TropicalBats, reflects Christenson\u2019s professional career as a wildlife biologist specializing in bats, particularly those in tropical regions.<\/p>\n

    \n

    “This collection name is a fun way to link my two passions, bats and Lincoln Cents,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
