my cent collection

This forum is for the discussion of USA coin and paper money collecting that is unrelated to saving bulk Copper Bullion Penny, Nickel & CuNi Bullion Nickel, or Silver Coins for metal content. Feel free to post scheduled coins shows.

my cent collection

Postby stlouiscoin » Sun Jul 29, 2012 9:26 am

I am currently working on collecting every circulation cent ever minted, and thought it would be cool to keep a journal of it on here.
Lincoln cents:
all except 09-s, 09-s vdb,
Indian head cents:
All except 1861, 67-72 and 76-78, 08-s, 09-s
Flying eagle:
no 1856.
Large cents:
easier to say what I do have...:1798, 1817, 18, 20, 22, 28, 30, 35, 37-39, 46, 48 50-52, 55
all the coins range from cull to proof.

Please feel free to comment on the coin and my attemp.

Very nice and way to go. I wish you all the luck but would like to add that the 1856 Flying Eagle was a pattern coin so I wouldn't get too worked up trying to find one. There were only 2,500 minted and worth several thousand dollars. To me, it is akin to collecting silver dollars and trying to find the 1836 Gobrecht. It can be done but cost a lot of money. Good luck.

Not sure you mean EVERY. That would mean all the Large Cents, Flying Eagles, Indian Heads too. Lots of money if you try those too.

Wow! Impressive goal. Best wishes in getting it done. I would think a collection like that would be worth a lot of silver or gold :D

i have tried to collect at least one of each year wreath penny since i was a pre-teen just from change and i am almost 60 now and missing only 9 of them. i don't necessarily look at the letter on them, just looking for one of each year. and none of the 9 i need are ones you need.
