Am I the only person here who does not own a Lincoln cent in their collection?

Yes.
Possibly. Odds are low. But possible. Like the lottery. I don't own a Peace dollar. What are the chances?
Insert witicism here. [ xxx ]
This needs to be a poll
...just check under your couch buddy...it's been there all along
I have a roll of 43 steel pennies. I think that qualifies me as a hoarder and not a collector.
It is possible that you are the only one

Nope. Here's one more. Sorry.
I certainly have some.... and even a gallon jug of wheaties (that I have yet to search)....Cheers, RickO
I have one, a 72-DDO. sorry.
I have an incomplete Whitman album of Lincoln cents that I put together as a kid.
While I still have it, I have not looked through it since I was a kid.
Just yesterday I saw a proof i must have 2x2ed years ago for shininess in my box of WTH junk.
I should spend it.

No cents in the collection here
no Lincolns here
I have a few, in case you ever decide to change your mind. LOL Mostly raw.

If you exclude the perfunctorily placed Lincolns in the 7070, I do not own one, either.
Here's another. If I had one it would be a 1955 DDO.
If not, why not.
Just one or two will do.
The luster on a nice MS wheat back can be mesmorizing.

Most everyone has an old wheatie Lincoln cent somewhere in the house. Most of us when transitioning from our first coins have some of them laying around. I know I have some pretty inexpensive wheats, buffs, 90% silver coins, etc. just sitting in a little cardboard box or two from 30-40 years ago. They don't go anywhere.
If you require that Lincoln cent to be in a slab, then no, I don't have any of those.
What he said.
I don't collect Lincoln cents per se, but I do have a couple errors which I think are neat.
Nothing slabbed, but I've picked up a couple Whitman folders of 1909-1940 Lincolns, almost full. Everything but the 1909-S VDB in those.
Gonna get me a $50 Octagonal someday. Some. Day.
Don't have one either. Used too but was traded off. Don't miss it or any lincolns.
No birth year set?
I do not have one, but I would like a 2017-P just for the novelty of the "P" mint mark this year.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
If I ever to own one it would be a 14-D.
Nope, I don't own any 1958 coins.
To me Lincoln and Indian Head cents are like model airplanes and model railroads...The minute I stick my toe in the water nothing good will happen to my wallet...

Lots of them here. Complete '09-'40 Whitman classic, 55 DDO, 72 DDO, the big one and one of the minor but still strong ones, couple '95 DDO, '95-D DDO, 36 DDO, 64 DDR, Probably 5000+ wheats in a big bank bag, lots of proofs, many unc rolls. Might just have too many actually...

Nahhh...no Lincoln but found a few Large cents.
I'm sure I have a wheat cent somewhere, but I couldn't tell you whee any were off the top of my head.
Oops, forgot that one. I have the 1940 proof set that was my 15th birthday present.
I don't have "a" Lincoln Cent...I have quite a few.

I only have one
14-d pcgs 65rb cac 85% red the 5-10% reduction in red, saved me about 8k
got a few here myself.
None. But how about a Guns and Cents discussion?
Not only do I not have a Lincoln in my collection currently, but I never have had one in it. I have always spent them as soon as I received them.
Never had more than four at any particular time in my life.
I hate copper, too fussy condition wise. None in my collection.
Spent about two hours with a young boy about 13 and his mom , yesterday in the shop. Helping him fill his Whitman folder with wheat cents. Some of us gotta keep the fire burning. We can't all be rich doctors and _____.

None here. I sold my last one over a year ago (1955 DDO MS62). They're just too small anymore...

If you don't count loose change or my junk box then I do not have a Lincoln cent in my collection either.

You might be unless you talk to someone who collects only foreign coins. A lot of us got our start with Lincoln cents. If anyone owns a complete modern Proof or mint set, you have a LIncoln cent in your collection. It's hard to avoid Lincoln cents if you collect U.S. coins. The obverse has had the longest run of any U.S. coin design, from 1909 to date. That's well over a century.
I have one also, however I look at it every couple of years then put it back in the closet.
