<p>[QUOTE="mac266, post: 940428, member: 26371"]If you're like me and want to collect all the business strike coins, there are some "S" mint marks you need, too. In a few years there were some "S" mint marks that were released to circulation. There are also some varieties -- coins of one date and mint mark that were issued with a smaller date than others, etc. It took me over 25 years to assemble this collection because a few of them just can't be found in circulation. I paid a small premium to get those coins from dealers, but they rounded out my set quite nicely. When I say "small premium," I mean small. There is nothing cost prohibitive in this set; however, if you go backwards in time and collect all the Lincoln Wheat cents, there are a few you will pay bookoo bucks for (read up on the 1909 S VDB if you don't already know about it).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
