Couple of new pics of my clipped Lincoln set - warning, BIG pictures

I've been able to score a bunch of upgrades recently, so I took out the set to image the whole thing again, both for insurance purposes and for my own enjoyment. Here are the two pages I'm most proud of - first, a nearly complete set of zinc cent clips through 2003. I'm missing the four 1982 varieties (only '82 and '82-D large date coins are known, neither small date variety exists in any collection I know of), the 1992 (also unknown) and the 2002 (one known, and the owner won't budge).

The second is the first page, 1909-1918. I recently picked up a 1912 to complete the teens.

Someday I hope to photograph each coin individually and dedicate a web page or three to the set, until these will have to do.

Those cents are all faulty, you should get nice round ones.

Answering all the questions at once (and giving this a little bump in the process...)

<< <i> Very nice collection.....how long have you been at it? >>

I've been working on the set for about nine years now.

<< <i> you aren't making them are you? >>

If I were, it wouldn't have taken me nine years.

<< <i>I didnt think clips could be straight?? after all the punch and die are both round how can you get a strsight clip with round die and punch??

Straight clips occur when the punch goes off the edge of the metal strip. Check out this page for a quick overview of how all types of clips can occur - just note that page is an archive and most of the links are dead.
