You can still find silver coins (silver nickels from WWII seem to be the easiest to find, for me), and wheat pennies aren't terribly difficult to...
I, too, am working on Lincoln cents and Kennedy halves. Circulated, plus uncirculated from each year they weren't released for circulation. I...
Yep, it's a sickness! If you don't think so, ask my wife!
