Lincoln Date Set... Help Please!

My daughter has decided to put together a date set of Lincolns that she plans to display at her school. She likes the "look" of the NGC slabs better than the PCGS slabs, so she's buying MS65RD NGC slabs. She also likes the "P" cents and is only buying those from the Philly mint (with the exception of 1922, of course).
My questions are:
What coin should she buy in 1982 (bronze/zinc & lg/sm), 1992, 1998 & 1999... it looks like NGC is denoting these either Close or Wide.
Also, what is the definitive Lincoln book that would best fit her project (she'll be in 4th Grade).

She gets a lot of "allowance" from her grandparents for her birthday and Christmas.

On the 1992 the Wide is the norm or common type, so it would seem this would be the one for an ordinary date type. On the 1998 & 1999 the Close is the norm or common type. I'm not sure how to handle the 1982, maybe just go with copper since it was the first issued.

Apparently, they didn't make a copper cent in 1982.
The only coins NGC has listed are:
1982 LG DT BRONZE
1982 SM DT BRONZE
1982 LG DT ZINC
1982 SM DT ZINC
for all of them ...regardless of grade.
