    Possibly. Odds are low. But possible. Like the lottery. I don't own a Peace dollar. What are the chances?

    I have a roll of 43 steel pennies. I think that qualifies me as a hoarder and not a collector. :)

    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.

    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. :)

    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.

    I don't collect Lincoln cents per se, but I do have a couple errors which I think are neat.

  • Options

    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.

    GSAs, OBW rolls, Seated, Walkers. Anything old and Colorado-focused, CO nationals.



    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.

    I do not have one, but I would like a 2017-P just for the novelty of the "P" mint mark this year.

    If I ever to own one it would be a 14-D.

    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.

    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    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.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    I have one also, however I look at it every couple of years then put it back in the closet.
