<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 132381, member: 4626"]Cool... may end up just buying it... it seems to be rarer than the large date but nobody's exactly sure how rare because the mint didn't keep records of how much of each was minted. I'ts possible it's not as rare as people think and may just be heavily hoarded, lol. I know that on the 1960 and 1982 both date varieties are about as common as the other.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did one time see one on ebay, a proof that someone had cleaned, almost got it, was seeling for $35... but honestly if I'm spending that much for a single coin I'd rather have a business strike, ecen a circulated one, over a cleaned proof that would keep drawing attention to how almost good it is, lol. I have some cleaned and damage coins in my collection, but these are old ones that are too rare and expesnive to reasonably get better, yet. Can't see doing that for a coin less than 50 years old.</p><p><br /></p><p>This one is bugging the heck out of me because it's the only Lincoln cent (besides the 2006 Philadelphia, which I expect to find soon) since 1932 I don't have in my collection. That hole in the Whitman folder is mocking me! Will break down and buy it soon I'm sure. Did find a 1970 S in circulation recently but it turned out to be the large date.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
