[QUOTE="Spark1951, post: 3320894, member: 90692"]A Yeoman Red Book has all the pertinent data for all denominations. Low mintages is a key factor, this can be found in a Red Book, and "special" is a relative term. For instance, first year Lincolns come in multiple varieties with varying rarity/scarcity, some easier to acquire than others. Another thing to consider is that to get one, you will almost have to buy it, they are 110 years old this month, and the chances you are going to run across one from circulation are nil, but if you do, the condition will almost certainly be a very low one. Same thing for 1922 no mint mark. Research both of these dates to see what I mean. The Red Book is a great data source, just use the values listed very loosely. Use NGC or Numista for more accurate price and value listings. Hope this helps...Spark[/QUOTE]
