Is 2008 the end of the line?

These albums are the go to add the extra coins at whim.

When the LMC came out in 1959, many people called them "Trolley Car" Cents.

The Lincoln Memorial looks majestic in person, but on the back of the 1959-2008 Cent, it looks like the trolleys you see rolling around downtown San Francisco.

Since I had a newer Lincoln Dansco, there was no "dilemma" as to what or where will "post-2008 Cents go?"
(i do have an older US Mint Lincoln album too)

I suspect that there will end up being a lot of folders or even some albums that will have the 2009 versions at the end......and then some that will "start" with the 2009 versions, and then go with the new Shield designs from there forward.
This anniversary year of 2009 isn't a Memorial OR A Shield design........but it's gotta go SOMEWHERE ! .....

Similar to the U.S. Territories and the State Quarters.....not really though, most view them as part of the same album of the State quarters, then the ATB's a new seperate run.
(Though I have a seperate Dansco for my Territory P & D's, Proofs, and Silver Proofs)

My Dansco for the Lincoln Cents provides what I need already, being a newer album.....problem is solved before I realized there'd even be one ! ...

Look here.

Dansco is doing a bunch of updates!


I strongly believe that the cent will continue as NIFC in mint sets for many years after they stop making them for circulation. I could be wrong, but it is what I would like to see happen.

To each their own. I don't particularly care for the Shield reverse all in all, but I respect the fact that there are those who feel differently. Perhaps one day it'll grow on me.

I will say this, though - I do think the font that they used for "United States of America" was really cool and a definite improvement. And I also agree that the simpler design will be better from a die-wear standpoint.
