Of course I will admit a G4 16d merc looks nice to me so... Of course! Who wouldn't think it's pretty! At least the value and demand are warranted. |

That's why I like my coins in 2x2's in a binder. I'm not anti album or anything, I just want my collection how I want it. When/if I'm ready to buy a 22 I'll get the best I can afford. I feel its another variety. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have one. Lol. Or two.

I think you should blame the RedBook, not the folder/albums. RB tends to be the final authority on what is part of a set. Adding to the confusion, about 40 years ago, there were four varieties of 22 plains, but since then, the TPG have decided only one is the "real" 22 plain. Values of the other three plummeted. |

I agree that it's a variety.
The only official 1922 cent was from the Denver mint, that some were produced without the 'D' is a result of mint error

The Red Book is made by Whitman and so are most of the older Albums. Of course today there are numerous other manufacturers of Albums and Folders but I wonder how many of them just copy Whitman? I used to have Whitman Folders with slots for the 1913 Liberty Head Nickel and one with a slot for the 1894S Liberty Head Dime too. Even today my Whitman Album for Indian Head cents has a slot for the 1856 Flying Eagle. Yes those are all real coins though but the 1922 Lincoln Cent just isn't for real. And as noted now there is this fuss about 4 different types. |

1922D is the only official cent issue for 1922. Any album that includes anything else isn't worth the material it's made of. End of story.
The whole hyped up market value around the 1922 cent without a mintmark is based upon lack of knowledge and mistaken identity. I do not subscribe to it nor do I teach it.
I use 20 pocket pages for my collection so I can gauge for myself what belongs in a collection.

Although I like Albums, I'm more and more considering doing the same thing. The ability to lable each 2x2 is really starting to look like the way to go. Might just be old age but I am getting tired of some manufacturer telling me what I MUST collect. |

It's not truly key date.
I love 22-D's but don't much care about the no D. It's just from an over-polished die, not really an error or variety in my eyes. Too bad it got so over-hyped because it's really not a very exciting coin IMO. I own a weak reverse one but only because my Grandfater felt compelled to fill that hole in his Whitman. LOL

Come over to the binder camp carl! Just think, you could put ALL of your folders into a single binder. Pocket pages are vastly superior for organizing a collection!  Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

With many that is really a sore subject. Absolutely.  I will be putting a nice and hopefully inexpensive 1922-D "weak D" in my Dansco album. |

I do the binder thing, too. I'd go nuts if I couldn't handle the coins in the 2x2s. Sometimes I take them out to photograph them, too, or to just plain look them over, again. I'm a hands-on collector and there's nothing anybody can do about it.  |

Used to be a Whitman Album only person but due to many free Albums, now also have some Dansco ones. With well over 100 Albums finally finding it is impractical to have a collection of what I want, what I'd like, how they should look if only doing what I'm ordered by some manufacturer. Recently wanted to start a few of my own collections and the only way I could was to invent my own. The first was a Proof Only collection with as many of each denomination as possible. No way to do this unless able to move coins easily so kept all in 2x2's and in those 20 capacity plastic pages and in a simple 3 ringed binder. Next is my Liberty Head/Buffalo/Jefferson Nickel Album made up of 2x2's and again thost plastic pages for 2x2's. Next will be my tilted or reverse rotated coin Album made the same way. Maybe just old age but I'm really tired of someone telling me I HAVE TO, MUST HAVE a 1922 plain in my collection OR ELSE. |

Who said I was collecting them? Perhaps I'm just building sets.
Actually it's the master set for coppercoins. No album would work for that.
