For side by side perspective, here's my 92d at MS67 from 1992 D 1C | NGC (ngccoin.com)

Hang on.

Don't let me, or anyone else, decide what you should collect. Just because strike damaged coins are not varieties does not mean that you can't keep them, if that is what you choose to do. They may never be worth more than face value, but some are quite interesting looking. Collect what you like.

Agree - all Abe's are special, even toasted ones (if you look for it). I own several ungraded Abe's that are very sweet to me (for 1 reason or another) but aren't worth much from a market value or unique variety perspective. Good follow up Bob! And grazi for a very useful link on DDO data by Variety Vista Home = :-)

Some background resources to review concerning 1964 Abe's:

1964 1C MS Lincoln Cents, Memorial Reverse | NGC (ngccoin.com) - great resource for any coin you want to dig deeper into

What's a unique 64 look like? This: From the Grading Room: 1964 Lincoln Cent Struck On a Coin of India | NGC (ngccoin.com) 

And...some 64s could be considered "special", like this former Top Pop 67 (NGC graded a 68 recently...), which I consider a pretty cool Abe! ;-) 

1964 D 1C | NGC (ngccoin.com)

Here's a couple resources that provide some background:

1988 P and D RDV-006 Transitional Varieties (lincolncentresource.com)

1988-D Penny with Reverse of 1989 Transitional Design Variety

and they go for about $50-$200+ on eBay

Did you sell? If not, what is your target price? I might be interested...
