lincoln cents are my specialty as well and i personally find it more fullfilling to collect all mintmark varieties... but if its more fun for you to collect cents from philidelphia then by all means, do that. Also, if your collecting from circulation it may be easier to simply do a memorial reverse set from 1959 on, setting wheats aside for later as you find them...aditionally if your a fanatical completest as i am youll also want to try to get the major varieties (such as small and large date 82s and the like). Also in response to your question; a 61 with no MM is rarer then a 61 D...although niether are uncommon...so just keep the coin that speaks to you.
