I'm doing 1909-58 minimum of VF-20, but I'm a kid, so I won't be doing the 1909-S-VDB and the 1914-D for a while.

I am hording copper pennies, I figured why not, for now we can't melt them down but who know one day. I will purchase $100 in pennies and collect all the copper out, remove all the Wheaties. The oldest I have found so far has been a 1917 and I also pulled a blank copper planchet from a $50 bag. When I first started hording copper I was getting about a 25% take in copper and now its about 10% if I am lucky. My goal is to get one metric ton of copper pennies, minus the Wheaties. I have approximately 100 pounds now.   "LOVE THE HUNT!"

I collect Lincolns. I have one complete set 09-2013 with proofs from 1936-2013 and am working on two more. Just before I joined this site today I was looking through some solid date rolls of wheats. I opened up a roll of 44-d and behold I found a D/S in XF40....doesn't get any better then that!

I absolutely love collecting cents, although I don't really spend to much on them as I am only 17 and in college, but just the same I love my IHC's, LWC's, and LMC's. For my Lincoln's I only have 13 spots left to fill, although, as you might guess most of them are expensive. The ones that I am still missing are the big 5 (1909s vdb, 1909s, 1914d, 1922 plain, and the 1931s), as well as the 1913s, 1914s, 1915s, 1921s, 1922d, 1926s, 1927s, and the 1970s sm dt. I got most of them by buying them but I did find some such as my 1925 in AU+, my 1930d in XF, my 1931 in XF, and some BU 1940's and 50's Although recently I have been trying out for more silver than anything else cents are my favorite  |

It looks like you are off to a good start, better than I was at 17, and there was mostly wheat cents in circulation when I started collecting in the 60's.

I DID like these...... then I dunno what happened but I lost interest.
I learned about silver and gold eagles and started collecting those and never came back to the Lincolns.

I collect 09 pennies, wheat pennies, pre 82 coppers, and 82 pennies which go in a separate jar till I get a scale to weigh them out.

I really believe copper will go up in value from the demand of the emerging markets and developed countries needing to build infrastructure in the next 20 years. The series is really good with lots of things to collect in the series with the long run, varieties, errors, rotations, etc. Its just so easy and affordable to get started but I'm finding out here after reading the numerous entries on this site and the Lincoln Red Book that there is just a lot to learn about this series. |

Sorta new to Collecting/CRH but saving all Wheats. Found a '41 Error last week which seems to have asking prices of $50-$135 on ebay, and just last night, found a '29 in pretty decent shape. Now if I only had a market for the 59-82's! Wonder what the demand is for '72P? I'm finding a ton. |

My collection is from 1909 to current. It grades from AU to MS. It also includes proofs.. I have my collection in a Dansco album.
