Congrats on this date set. I like the '13 as much as when you first showed it. That '14 is sharp as a razor.  |

Nice idea - some of the earlier wheats are expensive to get in MS condition.

Thanks Coinfrog. Good to get an affirming opinion on the '14.

First of all, congrats! Quote:
I don't know if this is even a recognized type of collection Let me put this clear: a collection is how you define it. Nothing else. Please note that even Whitman just makes up stuff, there's no 'official' UN-guided mission which defines guides for how a collection should be defined or look. We in Yurop don't even have Whitman folders, so we have to make up everything ourselves with standard albums and 2x2s and honestly, I like to do so. It gives a lot of freedom and sparks a lot of creativity. So, the collection you describe is a very nice collection and you sure can be proud of it! |

Growing up, we always used the term "date set" for collecting one of each year. My friends and I often collected Walkers and SLQs this way. I still have a date set of Indian cents. |

Thanks to jbuck and all others for kind words. Good comment, UltraRant, and thanks Coinfrog for reminding me of the term "year set," which I should have remembered. A collection is a collection, right? I happen to love Lincolns, because my dad got me started on them when I was about nine years old (how many others can tell a variation of that story?). The coins we pulled out of circulation I consider the heart of my collection. I've also completed a circulated set, built around those coins my dad and I found (the set includes a 22 no-D, but not a 55 DDO, which remains my white whale). I think Mr. VDB designed a beautiful coin, a masterpiece worthy of a museum display, and I also love all the different ways copper can age. There are a lot of other beautiful coins, and the Liberty Standing quarters and Walker halves are my next favorites, I guess, but Lincolns just make me happy. I can look at them all day. |

Beautiful coins, I'm sure the whole set rocks. CONGRATS!
Those 20's Lincolns are TOUGH! I like the idea of one coin per year - makes it simple and reasonable cost wise.
