The earliest versions of the Lincoln Cent featured the designers initials (V.D.B.) near the bottom of the back of the coin. |

I would call 12S a semi-key as well as 22D, and of course the 22 plain is a key. So is a DDO 1955, if you count varieties. |

Do you have a RedBook or a bluebook? Although most people don't use it for pricing, you can discern which Lincolns are keys by the prices listed. Just look through the G4 prices and the keys become clear. If you have no books, you can apply the same concept at numismedia.com. |

Still looking for a 1960 small date. Found a 1960 D small date which I hear is pretty easy to find.

While it's not considered a "key" by any means the 1932 is always a nice find as it's the lowest Philadelphia-minted Lincoln Cent. |

I would add the 1926 S if you are going for an uncirc. set.
