Anyone collecting off-center Lincolns by date in the house?

A few years back I was working on the Memorials only, and I remember a few of the Philly Mint dates in the 1960s being semi-keys. I know the 1969-P in particular is probably harder to find than most of the San Francisco coins.

So... is the 1961-P one of those semi-key dates? How about 1968-P? Can you list any others that don't seem like they should be rare but are?

TIA, Sean Reynolds

Bumping for the night crew - I know there are one or two people here who can answer this.

I'm curious as well. I've got several off center zinc cents and a very nice 68-D that is about 50% off center with the date right in the middle of the coin.

Well now that the coin that inspired this question is in my grubby little hands, I can bump this. The coin below was in a small group of otherwise nondescript errors on eBay last week. I really thought that the 1961-P was a major key date for off-center memorials cents, but the lack of other bidders (and the lack of replies here) makes me think I was wrong?

Either way I think it was a good buy for $25 postpaid, just maybe not the rip I thought I had.
