<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coppermania, post: 1173096, member: 18304&quot;]I have focused all my coin collecting on Lincoln cents for the last 5 years attempting a mint state short set (1909-1933 is 70 coins). I&#039;m mostly interested in the coins from the teens due to the high craftsmanship and detail. For later dates they are lacking as the detail is a simple mound where the beard and hair go and get even worse when they go to a lower relief in modern dates. I also like a challenge and the early dates are tough in high grades and heavily contested at auction. I have found though that the advertised keys are pretty easy, and I&#039;m stumped on the 1914 S, 1923 S, and the 1926 D. I hope to find at least one of these this year in my target grade and when I do, I&#039;ll prob be out of money after that for a while, but I&#039;m into delaying gratification for a better coin instead of buying lots of lesser quality coins. Whatever color designation you chose to chase, make the coins ones that a loved one would want to keep or that a dealer would trip over to get to handle, not ones that will be a burden to be rid of in the future.
