This week, I received the final Lincoln cent to complete a set, a 1914-D. (The scratch above Lincoln's eye is in the holder, not on the coin). Thanks to huntsman53 for letting me know about this coin. I looked at hundreds of them before I found this one. I'll be upgrading some of the lower grade cents, but I now have all of them from 1909-2007.

Great Job!! RickieB Thanks! It'll take me a while to image the whole set, but I'll have to do it anyway for insurance documentation. I'll definitely post a link here, when I have it.   02-10-2008, 05:27 PM   #5 (permalink) Coinmelt Senior Member     Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: Southwest Florida Posts: 208 Very cool. Is the collection sporting a 1909-S V.D.B.? I'd love to see some pictures also. What grade are you shooting for? I'm trying to get all my collections in MS65 (nickels/dimes at the moment). __________________ Christopher R.

I do have a 1909S-VDB (see attached) in MS64 RB. I'm hoping to have all the coins in MS60 or higher. For the key dates, I've gone for higher grades. My collection needs a lot of upgrading in the pre-1930 issues so I still have plenty to work towards.

Pretty much everything I have 1935 and later is mint state, but the earlier dates are lower grade and will need upgrading as I find them.

LOL, I couldn't resist Yes, I do. See the "Show me your WOODYS" thread. Of course, that reflects what it looks like, not how I felt about finding it. (I couldn't resist either).   02-11-2008, 05:51 PM   #14 (permalink) vlcnrydr keepin' em raw**     Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Central MA Posts: 151 Congratulations on your accomplishment !! __________________ -=Mark It is said that life begins at 40...but it really doesn't get exciting till around 110...mph![SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]   02-10-2008, 07:02 PM   #15 (permalink) Car10 Senior Member     Join Date: Oct 2006 Posts: 238 My Mood: Congratulations!
