Radarcoin Valued Member United States 55 Posts	Posted 12/16/2011 4:38 pm The 1922 Plain was the coin that got me started in this hobby. Cleaning out my parents estate, there was a drawer of unusual coins that my dad had saved from pocket change. Mostly Indian cents, Buffalo nickels, and such. Nothing really special except this 1922 no mintmark Lincoln. On the advise of a local dealer who thought it was probably a fake..though a good fake, off it went to PCGS. It came back as a 1922 No D, VF-35, Strong Reverse. Unfortunately, I had to sell the coin to satisfy the estate with other family members. However it did hook me onto this wonderful hobby. Now I have a Dansco 7100 album that lacks a 1909-S VDB, a 1914-D and a 1922 Plain! Live and learn! Report this Post to the Staff
eagle1 Valued Member United States 94 Posts	Posted 12/16/2011 5:36 pm It is quite an accomplishment. I am in the deep end on my Lincolns, raw and registry sets. Need 12 more to complete my 1909-1958 set in 64 BN and higher, and those are the costly ones. If you venture into Cherry Picker varieties though, there is no turning back. Congrats!

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 12/16/2011 8:45 pm Very Nice - thanks for sharing the pics. Would you mind telling which album this is? I see it does not have holes for the proofs. This is most likely the one would want to get. I found out the local coin shop will sell any used albums they get in with collections for only 5.00! If I know the numbers, they might hold them for me (30 mile drive so a phone call is normally the first thing I do). As to your steel pennies. I have some BU and a lot of circulated. None of them look the color of yours (maybe just the scan also?). Maybe someone more knowledgeable about them can tell. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

I recommend assembling your set, then putting it into an album like Dansco. Consistently opening the sliders can scuff the coins if they are not centered in the slots. When I do remove a slider, I press all the coins further into the slot so the plastic doesn't make contact as it slides out. Radar - Cool story! Maybe that 22 Plain will be an XF45 when he comes back home! Report this Post to the Staff
