[QUOTE="Bones-65, post: 8232254, member: 136030"]Lincoln Cents! Goal, To complete the series from 1909 through current (and keep current each year, my 2022's came today) I go by date range and mint mark, I fill the holes with the best I've got, even if that means POOR! In the early 80's my Lincoln collection contained a fair amount of metal detecting finds (all of those have been upgraded now). Just plug holes, work towards completing the series. The bucket list coins came LAST! 09SVDB, that was the last actual hole to fill, that inspired me to get a 55DDO, that inspired me to started working backwards on adding all the proofs (well back to 1936 anyway, I'm at 1940 now). The inspiration boosters creates motivation to start at the lowest grade cents in the collection and do upgrades, I'm nearing the bottom range of Fine now. This is why many people have worked 30 plus years on a NEAR complete series. I'm not big on error coins, but the 55DDO is was a legendary childhood bucket list coin, and the time came when I could swing getting one. The complete Lincoln series will be just under 400 coins (with the proofs).[/QUOTE]
