Starting in around 1962 into 1965 I put together a nearly complete set of Lincolns all from searching rolls and bank bags ($50 bags) of cents. Resuming my collecting again around 1985, I have kept my Lincoln set complete and up to date, and still find occasional Wheaties usually in the 1940s and &#039;50s. Most are in about the same condition as your 1941, but it still is a thrill to find them today. Many of my coins from the early years grade good or VG, but I treasured them then and treasure them now - much more than if they had been bought in far better shape.</p><p><br /></p><p>From the grading standards I used back then, Lincolns showing only partial lines in the wheat ears (as your 1941 does) would be graded only VG (of maybe VG+ with 3/4 of the lines showing as with your coin) - it took full lines to reach a grade of Fine. Obviously, from the posts claiming VF or XF grades on your coin, the standards I went by have changed. Enjoy the way of collecting that means the most to you![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
