My last pictures for today.

The full set of Small Cents. As I can't stand the zilcons, I needed a point to stop and the 2020 special cents was a good time. This is my premier set, I have more but these are the current best raw coins I have.

Flying Eagle to Indian Head Cent




Lincoln Wheat Cents





Lincoln Memorial, Life of Lincoln and Shield

    Great collections. Thank you for sharing. I love albums and have had and still have quite a few, some complete and some not.

    Superbly done. Reminds me of . . . . . .

    I am in the later stages of 'reconstructing' a 3-Ring Oberwise Board Album (6 pages) from 1793 - 1975. All cents through history. Lincolns and Indians are complete "as they would have been pulled from circulation" . . . but I still need a few largies pre-1808.

    I like the way you shifted as most collectors do . . .to BU after a certain point. Well-matched, uncleaned . . .and very well done. I like them a lot !!!!!

    Great job!

    What you accomplished makes a lot of “cents”.

    In all seriousness, you truly should be VERY proud!

    The coins of a real collector. Just think of how much space would be required if all those coins were in slabs!

    Whitman Classic slide album should be okay for zinc pennies. The old Whitman folders were not made archival quality and should be retired from displaying coins in them. The sulphur in the paper used to make these folders, along with a little moisture, is the coin spoiling culprit.

    Well done! I like seeing them all together like that.

    One question-any reason behind putting proofs into the Philly spots in places like 1991, 1992, and 1994 but not 1993 and 1995?

    I like proofs and my LCS had them. If they had all the dates cheap I would do proofs instead of the P mint coins. 1993 and 1995 weren’t available either too expensive or had some other issues.

    Makes sense. It’s a different approach and a cool touch to make the set more unique.

    My father collected Large Cents and Indians. I collected Lincolns. This XF/AU set remains virtually untouched since the early 1970s. The only bad coin is the cleaned AU 1869/69.

    Great looking albums! Nicely done...

    I recently completed my full date & MM run of Lincolns through Zincolns in albums and can appreciate the effort you've expended working on this set.

    I have a healthy interest in working on IHC in the future, but not until my Morgan/Peace dollar sets are complete...

    Always looking for attractive rim toned Morgan and Peace dollars in PCGS or (older) ANA/ANACS holders!

    I’ll post my Lincoln set in a subsequent post. Similar to this Indian set, all coins are XF/AU… my favorite ‘collectible grade.’

    I quit adding to the Lincoln set in 1973 when I began chasing girls.
