22 Plain is a mint error, not a variety. :)
Variety would mean all of the tangibles are there, but some with a twist, not missing because of die polishing of a mint mark.
I do not believe this date/mmm (Missing Mint Mark - LOL!) should be in a standard book.

Put me in the group for it to be not needed to have a set of Lincolns.
Unless a collector wants that variety.
Sadly ..there is a hole for it in Dansco albums. It is the last
coin I need for my Dansco. Right now I just have a blank planchet
there. I would have to find a really good deal for me to
purchase one

I believe PCGS classifies it as a minor variety.

If you are just doing just a straight up date/mintmark set, then it does not have to be included. If you are doing a " RedBook" set then yes, then you need one with a clear "D", a weak "D" and no "D". But the fun thing about this hobby is you really can collect them any way you want.

Why would they include the no "D" variety but not other varieties like the 55 DDO? Is it strictly because it affects the mintmark? |

I'm in the camp that it is not necessary for a complete set. Otherwise it could be argued that a 1943 copper and 1944 steel cents would also be required.

Wow , some folks believe it's an error coin. and others think it's a variety. all I can say is when I
open my WHITMAN BOOKSHELF ALBUM I see 2 open spots open the s-vdb and the 22 plain. this annoys me. I only
want to see one empty spot, the elusive S-VDB.

From what I know most albums have a spot in it but most folders don't.
This is why I tend not to like albums or folders since someone else is deciding what coins you require to complete your set.

Check out my 1940 Barber dime Whitman folder: they have a hole for the 1894-S!  |

Never seen something like that, Jpsned. At least they've got that cutout there. So, if you pay lots of $$$$ for an 1894-S, crack it out of a safe slab, and want to put it in a FOLDER, you're covered.

There is a hole in my coin album for it, that means I need it to complete the collection. Oddly enough there is a hole for the 1856 fleagle in my Flying Eagle and Indian Head book too. As if I would purchase one for several thousand and stick it in a flimsy dansco book. That said it is a mint error not a variety though.

I agree with T-BOP, a complete set of LWCs does not need a 1922 plain. If you include this error coin then where do you stop?

I agree, as cool as the 1922 Plain is, it doesn't belong in a collection of regularly issued coins. Just like 1955 and 1972 double dies don't belong.
The way I see it, folders were meant to be used with coins you find in circulation. A regular issue goes out there for all the world to see and is meant to be touched and collected. If you look reasonably hard enough, you will come in contact with any and all regular issues.
An error/variety (whatever you want to call it) is a fluke, a mistake, and as such is not meant to be represented in a regular-issue collection. And since its mintage is usually very small and also unknown, it is not meant to be picked up by anyone, because by its very nature it may be impossible to find--and thus should not have a hole.

Quote: Why would they include the no "D" variety but not other varieties like the 55 DDO? Is it strictly because it affects the mintmark? I believe it is based on popular demand. If that is the case, it was popular at the time and kept to avoid having to realign all of the holes. |
