The Cents are a lot of fun, cheap, easily found in change or banks or friends


I gotta agree with carl on this one also. They are fun to. I found most of the ones in my set in circulation (roll hunting) and a few in bulk wheat lots. All you have to worry about is the "big five" Wheat cents.

If your willing to branch out a bit the Canadian large cents from 1858-1901 are a fun challange. They are sometimes called "Vickies" There are only 21 years minted during that time period but hundreds if not thousands of variations exist some are quite spectacular and fairly inexpensive. You can build a basic set for a few hundred dollars and then build onto it with more and more varieties. I am enjoying it so much I may sell all my lincolns to pursue it. Anyways just a suggestion.

True, true, true. Yet the 31S is no big thing either, although really low mintage, many are always floating around for a reasonable price.
The 09S is probably more difficult and higher priced too.
If you have a source for some large quantities, there are virtually many error coins in that series and if you know what to look for, you can usually find some. There is a guy on a web site called https://www.coppercoins.com that has two books out on that Cent and lists many, many errors for almost every year.
Never know you may find a 1955 Double Die in change.
