Lot of Lincoln Wheat Cents acquired in the UK
December 14, 2014, 07:44:22 AM
I do a bit of trading and purchasing of coins from a guy in Northern England.

I recently purchased a bunch of UK 5 pound coins from him that I needed as well as another coin contact in the US.

He offered a bunch of Lincoln Wheat cents as well.  All of the coins arrived the other day.

While looking thru the Wheat cents, I found some Indian Head cents as well.  Some a coins had holes in them while others with very worn or damaged.

Looks like a pretty good start to a nice wheat penny collection.  Let me know if you need help filling in some of the dates and mints.

I picked them up more for the fun of looking thru them and getting them back into the hands of an American.

I already had close to a complete set of wheats, just missing:

1909   S VDB
1909   S NO VDB
1911   S
1914   D
1931   S

Onlly the 1911 S is on my list to acquire.  Some point in time, I need to acquire another 1900 P VDB.

For the Indian Head cents, I need around 12 of those.

I already have the 1909 VDB and 1911 S, but would still like to one day get the 1914 D and 1931 S.
I'm not going to chase a 1909 S VDB as I see that as a variety.
