Completed my Lincoln cent collection!

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.

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.

 

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).

 

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.

 

One nice coin. If that is any indication of the rest of your set, it looks like it is my dream set.

 

Nice Dreamer,

Not a Lincoln man but have enough of them.

Great accomplishment.

Wow, very nice. How long have you been working on this...?

 

WOW, very impressive, you have some fans here now !!!!

 

Wait you have every year mint and type?

 

I have at least one example of every year and mint (including a 1922 No D) but they're not all as nice as the key dates.

I wish that were true! I've focused on the key dates. 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.

 

Congratulations! That's a great accomplishment. Now if I could only finish my set, 9 Lincolns to go for my set.

so your saying you also have a 1931-S??


LOL, I couldn't resist

 

Congratulations! Do you have the popular varieties too or are you saving that for after your upgrades?

 

I got the "big 3" DDO's (1955, 1972 and 1995) because I wanted to get them before the prices went through the roof.........
well, OK, they're already through the roof, I wanted to get them before the prices reached earth orbit.

I got the 22 "No D" also.

I have both 1960 large and small dates.

I have all the varieties of 1982 (Copper, zinc, big date, little date, etc).

Somehow, I missed the 1943 copper, the 1969-S DDO and the 1973 aluminum cent. Next life, perhaps.

 

Congrats I was pleased when I finally finished my set, then it was off to the next set.

 

Thanks! Are you talking about another set of Lincolns or a different kind of set?

 

Very impressive....how long have you been working on the set?

 

I've been collecting since about 1967, but I really started a big push to complete the Lincoln series about 2 years ago.
