Got three new coins today for the album that I needed 1918, 1920-S and 23-S I was hoping the 1923-S would be in a little bit better shape, but oh well I guess. It will do for now.  Reverses  This 1918 is a replacement for the one I've had that has seen better days    I have decided not to continue with the 8100 album, and it will go back to Amazon. I don't know, personally... The proof only Lincoln cents really don't interest me. Don't get me wrong, they are beautiful coins. However, I just don't really like the way they look with my business strikes. I do enjoy some of the earlier proofs, before 1975, and I've opted to use some of them in place of the business strikes since they look nicer. However, outside of that... I just don't feel like making the move to go all out and collect them all. I am taking that time/energy/money to focus on other collections. I am still avidly waiting that 1910-S I have coming from ebay! |

Thanks, jbuck. I'm also sort of at the rationale that I would personally rather upgrade the coins in my set, as opposed to worrying about proofs. I think over time, this is what I will do. After I receive the 10-S, there will be only three coins left in this page that I need. That is, at least in terms of the capacity of what I am collecting.  Same here. For me, the only ones I need personally are the 22-D and 24-D. I don't consider the 22 plain a part of this set personally, so it's not a coin I will ever attempt to purchase. Besides, it's outside of my budget anyways lol  I may, however, at some point attempt to find a decently priced "weak D" variety, and put it in the slot. Until then, I'll use the reverse. |

I'd like to upgrade the ones on this page eventually that aren't BU. Obtaining these in UNC really shouldn't cost too much, unlike a lot of the earlier Wheat cents.  I still need the 1960 small date for this page, and will upgrade several of the coins eventually. I also don't have that dreaded 70-S small date, and honestly, I don't think I will ever purchase one either.  Here is one of the "proof" issues that I opted to use as a hole filler instead of the business strike. Nice coin  |

Thank you, friends. I am excited that I was able to order another semi key date coin today. I ordered the 1912-S and so far, I believe this has cost more than any single Lincoln Cent I've purchased so far, coming in close to 40 bucks after shipping. Luckily, it was a gift to me from someone else. So I mean, it didn't cost me anything  This is the photo from the listing. So far, the seller has been pretty close with their images and the actual quality of the coin.  I believe the grade was VG, which is why it cost so much. After this, I still have the 1911-S, 1914-S, 1922-D and 1924-D to purchase. The 1911-S from what I've been looking at is ridiculously expensive. I've seen some listings at around 60 bucks. I think XF grade is probably out of the question for this coin. I will post some more pics when I acquire the coinage  Edited by Humanist1287
