But Nickels are just not that popular. So although there are some rather expensive and/or raresh Nickels, they mostly get ingnored. Pennies are possibly the most collected coins in the USA. Every little oddball thing about them gets popularized. For example the 55 Doubled Die. Yet there are many Doubled Die cents, but that one gets all the popularity. Almost any just plain Nickel would possibly just go unnoticed. Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 01/06/2015 9:12 pm The worst part of coins, such as the 22 plain Cent, is so many coin Album and Folder makers put a slot in their product for such coins. My Whitman Albums have slots for that coin, the 55 Doubled Die, the 72 Doubled Die, all the 60's, 70's, 82's, etc. I just don't know why we can't get an Album for the normal, good old regular, every day coins. And worse yet is the 22 is just an accident. Not a true error unless we call everything not done perfectly an error. Ever wonder how many other coins are missing a Mint Mark?

Many of us have grown used to seeing Philly pennies in change and regard them as comforting old standbys. But while a 1922 Plain is not a Philly issue, it looks like one, which makes it seem like a coin we need to have. The fact that it's not really a Philly coin and is also very rare makes it even more fun to think about. Report this Post to the Staff
