In 2008, Herb listed the known dates for the PCGS Authentic Lincoln cents in this thread (dates below).

1918, 1919, 1920, 1923, 1924, 1925, 1926, 1927, 1928, 1929.

Any updates to the known years of the cents?

Any more updates?

i will echo radioman's sentiments and say that i used to own a 1917


at one point i had a pretty formidable run of these, but i think they fell in the range you list.....now that i think about it, i may have had a 1921 -- seems like i did


i know for sure that i never found anything before 1917 nor after 1929, and there were NO mintmarked coins (and of course NO 1922 plain)

Hi astrora
I have never seen or hard of 1921 or 1922 being in the set.
I only found the 1917 several months ago, but this is as fare as I know the complete list
1917,1918, 1919, 1920, 1923, 1924, 1925, 1926, 1927, 1928, 1929.
Here is a write up I did on this slab I one of my articles.

It is an unusual type of slab, and what I enjoy the most, is the fact that they house a circulated coin. The coins range from 1917 to 1929, as far as I have seen. I have never seen a 1921 or a 1922, and do not think they were ever part of this set. They were produced by PCGS to go in to a Random House Coin collecting starter kit.
So, I would have to assume these slabs, were an example of what a slabbed coin would look like. Therefore, it would be considered a Sample. Estimated mintage of this slab was an amazing 50,000 to 100,000.

If compared to other Sample Slab production numbers produced, of a thousand or less, and they make up the largest amount of Samples ever produced.
It should be an easy slab to find, although I have not seen one for sale recently. It has me wondering just how many were lost, forgotten or thrown away after the starter kits lost their fascination? With that amount of samples produced you should be seeing them all over the auction sites, but such is not the case. Lastly, but important, is the fact that it has no hologram on the back.

Hope this helps
All the best
Alan
