Lincoln Type Set overkill?

Russell12Russell12 Posts: 673 ✭✭✭✭✭

Is it overkill to have all three as part of my Type Set?
Lincoln Wheat Cent VDB (1909)
Lincoln Wheat Cent no VDB (1909-1917)
Lincoln Wheat Cent VDB on obverse (1909-1958)

    I sort of just made that up because they call the 90's quarter hub change "spaghetti hair". But, they did the same thing with Lincoln's beard. They also shrunk Rooseveldt's and Kennedy's head.

    Jefferson got that treatment too, and I think Susie B for her comeback year.

    Also IIRC there was a slight composition change in 1962.
