[QUOTE="bhp3rd, post: 726860, member: 16510"][b]It has something to do with popularity of coin collecting overall[/b] It has something to do with popularity of coin collecting overall. I think there was simply many more collectors during the Lincoln series than the Indian's. Coin collecting started to really boom during the 1920's and beyond - there just was not many people that could even afford it during the Indian Cent years. That combined with mintages is the reason. I still remember some Indian cents in circulation during the late fiftys. Indian's like Lincoln's though have many grade rarities. You just don't find common Indian's or teens and twenty Lincolns in grades of solid VF that often, You find them worn out of in AU and above. If I were a smart young collector I might be for finding and buying all the VF Lincoln's I could find because the price difference is not that great.[/QUOTE]
