[QUOTE="jody526, post: 16609, member: 578"]guy, There are many ways to collect Lincolns. A year set is one coin from 1909-present, regardless of mintmarks. A date/MM set is one coin from 1909-present, P,D,S regardless of whether or not the coins are proofs or business strikes. A business strike set is from 1909-present minus the proof issues. A proof set is a set of only proof issues. A wheat reverse set is all the coins from 1909-1958. A Memorial set is all the coins from 1959-present. A roll set is one roll of each issue. There are many other scenarios as well. You can choose to collect circulated or uncirculated coins, or a combination of both. A coin collection is very personal to the individual collector. It is a reflection of that person's likes and dislikes, his/her background, and can even have setimental purposes. Oftentimes, a collection is only limited by the collector's financial situation. But always remember to collect what pleases you, regardless of what anyone else thinks. There is no right or wrong way to collect. Good luck.[/QUOTE]
