    As this is the last year of the Lincoln memorial cent series, and it's "only" been going on for fifty years, I figure that it might be fun to get a complete set from circulation. By complete, I mean a Whitman folder, no proof-only issues, and the 1982 change of metal stuff, I mean how can you tell just by looking at them which are bronze and which are coated zinc?

    Okay, there are two obverses: 1959-68, and 1969-09. (don't believe me? take a look, they're quite different), and...okay, let's make this easy. No proof only stuff, no double dies (the large date/small date 1960's might be worth of inclusion, but not neccessary) or other "common errors" just dates and mint marks. So the keys would be "S" coins from 1968-74.

    ...or if you want, just one a year. It shouldn't take long. Happy hunting!

    Probably could manage to do it with 25 or so rolls from four banks from different parts of the city.

    Okay - done. Did one a couple months ago - well except for 2009. Working on a second set, but seem to be missing a couple S mint marks. :)

    I just have to update that set. I stopped around 1995. I'm sure a few rolls will get me back up to date.
