Memorial Coin

Smart coin collectors please answer!?

Ok im canadian and collecting U.S.A. pennies, kinda dumb. I was on www.whitmanbooks.com, and i noticed something. There was a Lincoln Memorial Folder, and a just Lincoln Folder, my first guess was that the Lincoln Folder was wheat back pennies, but then i found out that both went to almost the same date (2002). Could someone please tell me the difference between these.

I did not go to their web site but it maybe they are changing style or trying to sell more folders. It used to be the 1909-1958 were two folders then the Lincoln Memorial started and went up from there. It does not matter what a folder says, but what is in them. Like Canada we have cents not pennies. Just get the ones you need and make sure the dates do not overlap. It is not dumb for a Canadian to collect U.S. coins, I send our state quarters to Canadian friends all the time. Even though I do not collect Canadian small cents I do like the early large ones as well as pre federation tokens. I have a nice collection of them from Prince Edward Island as well Nova Scotia and upper and lower Canada. So they may be redoing thigs due to the Anniversary of the Lincoln Cent next year where there will be 4 different designs from both mints plus a proof as well as the original copper as it was in 1909. Hope this helps.
