<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 2579219, member: 5233&quot;]So, I have always loved the wheat backed Lincoln Cent since I was a small child.&nbsp; As a kid, I would get really excited when I found one in change.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As I have started to re-think how I collect and focus on a small number of quality coins rather than a quantity model...one thing I realize I would really like to have is a choice example of a wheat cent.&nbsp; I&#039;m thinking I&#039;d prefer something pre-war (the older the better) but with a focus on strike quality.&nbsp; I&#039;d prefer a more common date to keep cost down.&nbsp; Maybe one I can pick up in the mid MS60s and possible a RB example.&nbsp; I have heard some of the common Philly minted coins of the late 19-teens were well struck...but I don&#039;t know if that was true.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was hoping someone here with more Lincoln knowledge could provide some suggestions on a good date to look for.&nbsp; Most of my knowledge is with Morgan Dollars...so I guess what I&#039;m asking for is what is the Lincoln Wheaties equivalent of a 1880-S Morgan?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
