tgauchsin Valued Member United States 344 Posts	Posted 06/18/2012 7:59 pm I'm collecting 1909-now all mints. I'm about halfway there. I'm trying to do most of it through CRH, but it is becoming more and more difficult. As soon as I open a roll my oldest daughter comes over and tries to cherry pick it before me!

This is a problem? :) You know they'll all eventually go to her anyway. At least you know your collection is safe for another generation and hopefully many beyond. Now I feel for you in the short term. Just think of it that she's storing them for you. Report this Post to the Staff
larsdog Pillar of the Community United States 593 Posts	Posted 06/19/2012 01:50 am I collect wheats (1909-1958) in a Dansco album. I collect mint and proof sets from 1959 to present and supplement that with non-error varieties, so I guess I collect ALL Lincoln cents. I'm missing the 4 usual suspects (09S,09S-VDB,14D,31S) plus 24D, and strangely, 26S and 33D. I agree that 22 plain is an error and I won't bother with it, but there is a space in my Dansco album for it, so I will likely put a "weak D" in that spot and make an appropriate annotation in my album. I am also shopping for 1960 large and small date pennies and 1982 penny varieties. Report this Post to the Staff
ericmckeown Valued Member United States 379 Posts	Posted 06/19/2012 09:54 am I put together a set of LMC from circulation and am slowly building a set of LWC. A lot of holes in that one. Report this Post to the Staff
JobIII Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 06/19/2012 09:59 am LWC, LMC, and the 2009 years. I didn't see the point of the shields, though I will make a point to buy some of the last year pennies are minted (if that happens). I have a lot of holes left to fill in the LWC series. Including errors types I also need the big ones from the LMC series also. ~JobIII Report this Post to the Staff
jmkendall Pillar of the Community United States 1590 Posts	Posted 06/19/2012 12:28 pm I have a complete Dansco 8100 that was filled from circulation finds of my Grandfather,Mother, Myself, and my Son. I have three sets of old Whitman folders that are mostly complete. I have been collecting since 1964. I have rolls of each date and mint mark from 1935 up. I have an original mint bag of 43S cents. I have a few rolls of certain dates and mint marks before 35. All rolls were collected from circulation except for some newer rolls. So, yeah; I collect Lincolns. Report this Post to the Staff
ljenkins990 Valued Member United States 406 Posts	Posted 06/19/2012 3:01 pm I've got a complete set of Lincolns with the exceptions of 1909-S VDB, 1909-S, and 1931-S. Most of the older issues were originally pulled from circulation by my grandfather and given to me in the late 1970s to start my collection and thus will never be replaced or upgraded. The memories are more important to me than the grade. Report this Post to the Staff

ksmcents Valued Member United States 306 Posts	Posted 02/21/2013 7:46 pm Here! Collecting for just over 10 years. The collection is never complete...always searching for upgrades! (I suffer from mild OCD and severe perfectionism). I personally dislike slabbed coins (I support the process of authentication and love the coin(s), just don't care for the look of the slab.)
