It is the "Zincoln" part that I dislike the most. I would love to see a bronze shield cent (NIFC, of course).

Wheaties are generally more valuable but I have very few in my collection. If I had a 55 doubled die it would be one of my very favorites. I have far less Memorials.

I'm a fan of the Wheaties. Just something I like more than the LMCs.
Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection:

I prefer the memorial, since it fits better when you compare it to the Jefferson nickel with the Monticello. I have a special spot in my heart for Wheaties, but I just don't get how 2 wheat ears relate to Abraham Lincoln.

Amber waves of grain. He preserved the Union? Probably more for America than for Lincoln.
