I've enjoyed working on my high grade LMC set. But will they be as valuable as wheats? No. Report this Post to the Staff

Look at the prices being paid for the 1969-S DDO and several other's, Lincoln Memorial Cents already have a strong collector base. That said....I prefer the humble Wheatie too. ~ Jim Report this Post to the Staff
lincolncollector Valued Member United States 373 Posts	Posted 07/14/2009 5:02 pm I guess I'm attracted to the lines in the wheats. But, it's too bad that the wheaties from the 40's and 50's are not as "wanted" as the earlier ones. Report this Post to the Staff

They are HIGHLY collectible, in fact, I'm sure they are more collected than Wheat cents. I've been working on an ultra-high grade collection of them for years. It's been FAR more challenging than my Wheats. I've spent more than 10x the time on my Memorial cent collection than my Wheat cent collection. Lincoln Cent Lover!

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19961 Posts	Posted 07/14/2009 10:15 pm Hummmm....oddly, I don't know the exact number of dates and mints. I would guess close to 200? In my Excel sheet I have 216 rows taken, but I have quite a few duplicates. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff

neversuited1 Pillar of the Community United States 1121 Posts	Posted 07/14/2009 10:51 pm Thad...do you really think Memorials are collected more that Wheaties?...hmm interesting. I guess it's how you define collecting, whether by quality, quanity, hoarding, ect... I would like to hear your thoughts tho. Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19961 Posts	Posted 07/14/2009 11:37 pm Sorry yotie! This should help you. It's funny, I've asked this very question here and nobody could answer me.....or they did and were wrong. LOL I'm also including a nice picture of a true full steps circulated coin for reference. 1984 Course Steps Fine Steps Fine Steps Circulated Example Lincoln Cent Lover!

Millions of people have complete sets of them in things like Whitman folders too. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5616 Posts	Posted 07/15/2009 12:03 am Well, I must say I started collecting in 1963, my 1st Whitman album was for the Lincoln cents. I like the LWC and I like the LMC, I also collect them both, in albums and roll sets, I think I enjoy the older coins for the simple, classic design, I enjoy the post 1959 coins for their bold, outstanding design, that said, I like them both for different reasons, I would also state that while I enjoy the older coins, I think I enjoy collecting the LMC'S THE BEST!!!
