If you could add a new Lincoln variety to the registry...

If you could add one Lincoln variety not currently in any of the Lincoln registry sets with varieties, what would it be?

Bob, before we add new varieties let's get PCGS to define exactly which varieties are Major and which varieties are not. I believe all Lincoln varieties should be allowed in the set registries, BUT the major varieties should be included with the date & mint mark sets and the other varieties should have their own set registries. JMHO. Steve

mozeppa

lets really make it good!

how about adding to the registry set every R.P.M. #1 that every year and both S and D branch mints...Just RPM #1..... after all the set would be finite, as RPM's Stopped in 1989

Uh... they should distinguish the 1982 varieties. Actually, they should be part of any basic set too. Right now it's like including one 1864 Indian Head Cent in your set and not both a copper nickel and bronze.

I kind of have to agree here. I do own all of the 1982 varieties but of course they are not all in slabs since there is no designation for them.

WaterSport

While there are no rules to collecting, I am sure we all have a few coins collected beyond the registery requirements. I too have my 1982 series. Am I corrrect PCGS will not even slab them as zinc, copper, small date, etc. under the variety service?

Yes that is my understanding. If you have a 1982 slabbed coin, it could be any of the varities!

If PCGS finally did recognize all 7 of the 1982 Lincoln varieties, what would become of the 82s already
graded?



I know. We all send them in and PCGS grades them and reslabs them for free.

I agree that the 1982 varieties should be added.

All 1,263 of them.

I agree with the previous replies concerning the 1982 compositional and date varieties, but to make a suggestion more in keeping with the OP's question, I'd nominate the 1980 Doubled Die Obverse. Close behind that would be the 1964 Doubled Die Reverse, though there are several strong varieties and it maybe too much to ask PCGS to only recognize one or two of them.

I would like to see the 38 S/S/S/S/S It has a way cool factor that is high and it is fairly easy to afford.

centmaster

I'd like to see the 28S Large "S" finally included, as well as the 41S Large "S". The 28S is especially tough to find in high grade.

jghilino

I think they should do away with the 1990 no s and add the 1982 7 varietys

Steve

Any reason why we can't have BOTH?

RBinTex

In keeping with the original question of which ONE I would add - the 1999 Wide AM.

dpoole

The 1998, 1999 and 2000 Type 2s.

WaterSport

Guess I need to add my vote...1953 Proof Double Die.

I wonder if PCGS is now distinguishing between the two 1941 DDO varieties: FS#-18 and FS#18.1? In the past they have simply lumped the two into one category: 1941 DDO. That category is in the pop report and a 1941 DDO is required for the Lincoln variety registry sets.

I believe that this is the only case remaining where PCGS lumps two well-recognized Lincoln DDOs together in one category. I recall an article in CoinWorld a couple of years ago where someone at PCGS (not David Hall) was quoted as saying they were soon going to distinguish the two different DDOs.

I'm not raising this as a registry issue. If they did finally split them, I think it would be fair to allow collectors to use either one for the registry. I believe that FS#-18.1 is much rarer FS#-18.

RBinTex

"...I wonder if PCGS is now distinguishing between the two 1941 DDO varieties: FS#-18 and FS#18.1..."

Always have under mint error service. NOW they will each have their own unique PCGS # IF one were to (still) send it in under mint error service or (shortly) just send it in under a service that added variety review/designation for the extra $15. Those attributed THIS way will have their OWN individual pops recorded.

If one were to keep using the regular (i.e. existing/regular pop report) PCGS numbering system they wouldn't be attributed as to which die they are -

that is

- unless & until PCGS separates them for registry purposes,

I've got about 50 different varieties back already Gerry w/the new numbering system but none of the above yet.

I agree the Die #2 is rarer but both pale in comparison (although not in value) to the Die #5.

STEWARTBLAYNUMIS

David Hall believes that only varieties that are naked eye visible should be added to the Registry and most of the time only one variety of each date.There is only one 1936 DDO cent in the REGISTRY.There is only one 1909 VDB ddo in the Registry.Being that the two most pronounced 1941 DDO cents(FS 18 AND 18.1) are eligible for the Registry it is probably too late and unnecessary to seperate them for REGISTRY purposes.The 1971 Proof is also grouped as FS 33 and FS 32 and allowed in the registry.

I would like to add the 1958 DDO and mine would then escalate in value.

Another addition that should be added to the Variety classification to the Lincoln Cent Series that is
extremely rare is the 1922 NO D Weak Variety as well as the 1922 Weak D variety lincoln Cents. It
is another lincoln series that is long overlooked ,andshould be added to the the Variety series. At one time I
had the MS-64 Red example 1922 Weak D lincoln cent. Because it was not included in the series
I sold the coin so I could have an example of the Full D in full red that was in my registry. The crew
across the street honored it as a 1922-D lincoln and was in my set there but not here. If they don't
include either of these in the registry as a Variety it should be in as a 1922-D as that what it truly
was meant to be when it was minted.
