Have not put one together yet but this sounds fun. I guess it would be the same with other circulated series but I like Lincolns  swcoin.ecrater.com

When you say "circulated", are you focusing on a specific grade or look? I've been focusing on upgrading my Lincoln collection to uncirculated red or red/brown coins - so I have circulated extras from the 60's and 70's if you need something specific.

It is on the "back-burner" for me.......but I do intend to begin this feat at some point in the near future. Mine, however, won't be "higher grade examples", I fear .......so perhaps mine will be slightly easier to put together ! ....  |

All of my business strike Memorial cents came from circulation, with a few exceptions (for example, those from the 1973 mint set I bought for the Eisenhower dollars). It had been pretty easy until a few years ago. Now it seems impossible to find nice ones in change. They seem to deteriorate so fast! |

My circulation set is complete from about 1951 - 2009, excluding the Philly LP1 and Denver LP3. Obviously, this includes all the memorials. It wasn't that tough - most of the wheats are from my cash register, and all the memorials were pulled from 2-3 boxes worth of rolls. Most are still red, if not in fantastic shape. I occasionally come across really BU ones from my cash register, but not frequently, and they're usually 08 if they look good.

I have the circulated Memorial set completed from rolls, but some of them I would like to upgrade. My 1960s and 1970s Denver mint coins in particular are quite well circulated.

I have a few wheat's (4) to go in my 1909-09 set. They are a mixed group of uncirulated and circ. I'm slowly $upgrading$ them and putting the old ones into the 2nd album 1909-1990 that will be sold later. Also doing the same for Jeffersons 1st and 2nd albums. I also started collecting rolls of Lincoln's thanks to Bad thad.  so much work to do. Edited by coindexter

Lincoln cents don't interest me in the least, I wouldn't even get them in change if I could help it  I will be fine with a nice example for my type set and leave the rest to the lincoln nuts. |

I have 3 left up to 98 (the year my folder stops), all from pocket change. It's been fun, which is another reason I like the state, territory, and America the Beautiful Quarters. It's fun to me to put together these little sets from common change, even though they will never be worth much, and I can always say that I only spent face on them! |
