Ricardo: 501 boxes of 2500 coins!  . That's a whole lot of Lincoln cents. Sheesh, I've done about 275000 cents - and there you are at over 1,250,000 coins!  Can't believe you don't have the 39D yet... it is taunting you  Don't feel bad if you can't complete the entire Lincoln series from circulation. It is a testament to your determination that you even got down to 12 holes. I agree with the others. Post what you need. (obviously the 09S vdb, 14D, 31S, 22 weak mintmark, and as you indicated the 39D. (I think I have that one, but can't tell immediately because of the way I have my coins organized). Post what you need, and if I have anything you need when I reach 250, maybe we can swap!

My first box of cents in about 4 months gave up 5 wheats including a 1916 with a full 95 years of honest wear on it. Not bad.

I found this cent a while ago in a box from Wells Fargo. I never got around to posting it.   Any thoughts as to the grade?
