Capping off a great month on eBay, this coin arrived today as part of a larger lot of clipped cents. Apologies for the quickie cell phone pic:
With the acquisition of this seemingly innocuous coin, I am left with just one hole remaining in my 100-year (1909-2008) clipped Lincoln cent date set. Twenty-eight years along, the only thing between me and completeness is the 1982 zinc small date.
I want to include a big shout out to @StrikeOutXXX, who also spotted the coin on eBay and sent me a heads-up. His is but the latest act of generousity I have encountered along the way.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

love it. the goal, journey, friends, patience and achievement !
con-grat-u-la-tions
next up the digital album!
Congratulations, I know you have been working on the set for a very long time
You could declare your set complete by virtue of the 1982 zinc small date being clipped out
Very enjoyable post.
Congrats!
Impressive Journey!

Here is an image of my hoard of them. All are 100% clipped! 😜
A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.
A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
Cool concept for a set!

What an interesting idea for a collection... and what a long journey... 28 years and now down to one last coin needed. I wish I had one, I would send it to you. Congratulations on a major achievement in coin collecting. Cheers, RickO
You could expand to the impossible Sheild Cent Dated Clip series,
I promised myself I would stop after the 2009 Presidential series made a complete date set all but impossible... but I will admit to dabbling in the Shield cents to the point where I had to add another page to my album. Last count I had ten different date / mint mark combos from 2010 on, so around half of the available coins.
I love your 2018, if it weren't for all that expensive plastic surrounding it I might be a player

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
