Congratulations on your lucky find of a 37-S Lincoln. Those were not
commonly found even 50 years ago, when I was doing the same thing that you are doing. To answer the question you posed in another venue, I am not collecting Lincolns any more, but am concentrating on "colonials", those (mostly) copper coins that are shown in the first chapter of the Redbook. My most recent acquisition is a 1787 Connecticut copper with a spelling error in the reverse legend! Of course, it was a circulation find, too, heh heh. Got it in change at the local Walmart. 8) I'll post a link to a picture of it later today, but have to run now. James |

You did very well for yourself. Sad to see you gave up lincolns. You
must of completed your set. Mine unfortunately will never be complete but that leaves the fun in hunting. Today alone im finding stuff just 5 out of 25 dollars done and im up 3 sheilds and dozens of 2009 cents. but its getting late and i got an eye strain headache maybe i should collect large cents no magnfiier needed. Maybe a better magnifier would help. either way ill start on the rest tomorrow and post full results by no later than sunday. signed james the squinty eyed collector |

In the 12-year run from 1793 through 1814 alone there are well over 300 identifiable die pairs, and about a dozen people have managed to collect them all, one guy having done it twice. Dr. William Sheldon catalogued them all back in the late 1940s, and some of them exist only in a few surviving examples. Each of his "S" numbered varieties is rated in terms of rarity, from R-1 (over 2000 known) to R-8 (1 to 3 examples known). James |
