Why no special designation for Lincoln's?

Man,

Feel bad for you guys. I'm lucky my wife got it.

It's one of those jokes that only coin geeks will appreciate. My wife and I have been together over 20 years so she's heard enough FBL etc.

Part of the problem is that FS on Lincolns can be quite common for many of the dates so it loses most of its meaning.

Actually they could just call it Full Steps and add the requirement that the shubbery or something else needs to be full as well.

 

After reading some of these replies (this includes you clembo ), I will stick with R, RB, and B.

Perhaps the solution is to go with FM (Full Memorial). This would make every date a little bit tougher and some very tough. Even a lot of the zinc dates are hard to find with all the detail.

I think that strike will gain in importance and more people collect moderns and discover most have abysmal strikes. Nice stong strikes with clean surfaces just look a lot nicer.

 

Also with a lot of the wheats, many of the dates have weak strikes, and sometimes where it'll be nice and strong on one side, and weak on the other side. It's very aggravating sometimes, LOL.
