Lincoln Memorial Set

Thanks. I will post it up there.




Thanks. It has actually only a couple visible dings. It seems to be in better condition than many new cents I find

Update:

I picked up 2 Whitman folders to house the LMCs. I wanted to get a Dansco but my LCS did not have one so I just picked up the folders; they were a good price too at a $1 each. One of the whitman folder includes the 1941-1958 LWC, so I will be aiming at getting them also from roll hunting.

Here's my current progress. All of it is from roll hunting other than the 1943 steel cent.














Since this folder does not have the 1970 small and large date varieties, I'm hoping to complete it all from roll hunting. The 1943 steel cents might be an issue, but I don't mind buying it especially since the one I have it there right now was also purchaseed

Good luck! The key is persistence. I'm guessing the "S" mints will be the most difficult for you to find... The 1949-S and 1955-S are tough finds even out here on the West coast... Since the folder does not have either the 1960 or 1970-S varieties, it is definitely doable... I'm actually working on a 1934-date set from CRH, and minus the varieties, I am only missing 4 coins - 1935-S, 1936-D, 1938-D, and 1939-D.

Update:

I searched through a few more boxes of cents. I finished up the 2009 coins. I only need 6 more coins to complete the second folder:

Fantastic nice collection.

Well done!

I recently got lucky on 2 rolls of pennies at work, between them there were about 60 of the 43' steels, and the rest were weaties. Earliest being a 1916. That was the first steels I've found in "the wild" though. Varying mint marks and only 3 of them were of any decent grade. Rest were quite smugy. Haven't found any S mm's yet though.
