<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scyther, post: 1577996, member: 42170&quot;]Greetings, people of coin talk.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am collecting Lincoln cents from circulation.&nbsp; I am wondering what color/patina of coins would be best to collect.&nbsp; For the Wheats obviously they will have to be brown.&nbsp; For the recent ones of course there are a lot of shiny ones available so I should just use those.&nbsp; But what about the coins in the middle?&nbsp; Is it realistic to collect shiny/&quot;red&quot; post-wheat pennies from circulation?&nbsp; I&#039;m thinking not.&nbsp; So would it be best to just have them all brown so they match, even though I have some that are red?&nbsp; And are shinier coins necessarily considered desirable, or does it matter more how free of damage they are?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m just wondering because even though I&#039;ve sorted through thousands of pennies, I still haven&#039;t made much progress on my collection...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
