After 32 Years, My Lincoln Circulation Set Is Complete!

First congratulation on the achievement! That was a monumental task you just completed! I also collected coins when I was a kid and left the hobby for about the same amount of years, sure wish I had those years back!

Congratulations on the completion of a monumental task! Finding all of those in circulation is quite an accomplishment.

Back in '91 when I really started to "work" on collecting, I began with cents, to build around my solitary 1924 that found it's way into my pocket as a youngster. I began with rolls from the bank, and found a good amount of wheats, and nicer memorials. As time went on I began purchasing them, in wheat rolls and singles, and had about 75% of an '09 to (then) date set complete. Then I began to upgrade.

That became the basis of two sets, the best of what I had and the upgrades into an Intercept shield album, and everything else in the original Dansco. It is my favorite set because they are all hand-picked. The Intercept Shield is complete minus the 09svdb and 22plain, with '35 and up all BU, CHBU, and Proof. I have never passed on any of my Lincolns. All of the original roll finds are in the Dansco, and some are in the IS (the early ones that I never upgraded because of the price). I really enjoy looking at those albums because they were put together, essentially, one piece at a time. I can imagine your feeling is much as mine.

I haven't done anything with them for quite a few years now, been onto other sets, but one day I'll come back to my Lincolns and there are still coins to be upgraded. It's quite a thrill to open one of those albums and see pages and pages of RED. But it's also a thrill to see pages and pages WITHOUT any empty holes!

Enjoy the fruits of your labors!

Congratulations!

congrats on the set! I have actually found a couple small date 60s but no 70-s yet

Very Congrats!

No cents were minted in San Francisco from 1956 until 1968.

Well, there may have been some minted in 1965, 1966, and 1967, but no coins had mint marks those years, so one would not know. However, I think only the Special Mint Set coins were minted in San Francisco those years. I could be wrong.

Coinsearcher83 are you looking for a 1960 SD for P or D? or both. A quick search of my open roll coins I have an extra D...
