You'll notice that the majority of collectors are missing the same coins. And although they all come up for sale occationally, when you think about a coin like the 09S VDB with 484,000 minted and very possibly many millions of people that collect Cents, shouldn't really be able to get one to easily. Of course due to all the counterfeiting, many, many people do have them in their collections and may never know if real or not.
Same with most of the low mintage Cents. The 31S has only 866,000 minted and I'll bet many millions of collectors have one.

I need the three... 1909-S VDB, 1914-D, and 1922-D "Plain" (no-D, weak-D).

Jaymon--no problem! You know where to find me I don't have any keys, etc. but you'd be shocked what still comes through my cash drawer (of course, the words "cash drawer" should also clue you in to what a lot of my 1910's and 1920's dups look like . . . I have a 1911 worn almost smooth). |

Most all my Lincolns came from circulation and some years I have lost focus only to start searching for missing examples again in change. For some reason I am short a 1987, and all four 2009 Lincolns from Philadelphia. I don't consider the 1922 plain a real issue so the only wheat I am missing is the king 1909 s vdb.

Still missing the 1909s vdb.
I know why but 1000 bucks for a coin near a half million mintage just seems like a bit to much

Done; date and mint mark. Some varieties, but only as it tickles my fancy.

I have examples from all three mints for both wheat and memorial series (no proofs - the S mint memorial is an 1972). Also from all the decades from the 1900s to date (yeah, that includes an 1909 and a 2011). I highly doubt I'll ever be anywhere near close to completing the wheat set by date maybe (and even that's unlikely as I'd need an 1922-D... but otherwise I'm about half done). Copper memorials could be doable (minus proofs) but too much hassle, and I probably won't care enough about zinc ones (though I did get a few of these as unneeded change from American friends; between that and what my father gave me from his collection I'm also about half done here - ignoring proofs of course). |

I only have the Lincoln Cent set from 1940-1980 in a whitman album, but the album is just about finished, other than the obverse of a steelie. |

About 5 years ago, I decided to complete the Lincoln set that I started as a child. As a kid, I filled the holes in my Whitman folder with common dates in Very Good to Fine condition. Now these coins are in a Dansco along with new acquisitions in better condition. There are still nine spaces yet to fill: 1911 S, 1912 S, 1921 S, 1926 S, 1931 S, 1932, 1933, 1933 D, and 1938 D.
