I consider some of my favorite Lincoln cents in my collection to be my
run of 1909-S to 1915-S cents, excluding the 1909-S VDB in the pleasing
matched grade of VF.

I believe these first seven "S" dates are some of the toughest to get in
the pleasing, problem-free grade of VF.

Also, some of my other favorites include the 1911-D and 1912-D, both are
also VF.

I now have acquired all the 1931 cents in at least MS-63RD. I just
acquired the 1931-D in 64 Red and the 1931-S in 64 Red from some dealer
in Oregon. I believe at least the 1931-D will be tough to come by at a
later time in Full Mint Red, at least in the pleasing grade of 64. My
1931-P is 63 Red, though, bought about a year ago or so. Even though
the 1931-S may be tough in writing, it really isn't tough in any degree
in Mint State up to the 64 grade (inclusive of Brown, Red Brown and Red
states of Mint State).

Even though collecting Lincoln cents can sometimes be tough, I derive a
lot of fun out of them.

I hope you enjoy reading my post!

Very true. Although, I personally believe that it is a tough set to build
(both the D and S mints) through the mid twenties. I think that this
applies to ANY grade, If you are looking for the best posable, problem free
example.

Come of mine are any cents minted from 1915 through 1919. The engraving on
some of these peices was truely exceptional.

Good for you Nicholas!!! The 31-D is one of the last dates in the Lincoln
series that is tough to find in full mint red. A very under rated coin in
my opinion. You should be very happy with this full red piece (If it is
attractive by all other attributes).

The 31-D is a much tougher coin in full red.
