Some say the 22 plain Lincoln is an error by the Denver mint. some say it's a mint variety. Either one I don't
believe it has to be included in the 1909-1940 set. does
anyone else agree ?

I agree. It wasn't made in Philadelphia, so I don't want a spot for 1922 plain in my collection.
Of course, if I found one by chance, I would be elated...

I believe most albums or folders do not include a spot for the 1922 plain, but many collectors get one anyway. (me included).  |

It IS a Mint product and therefore a Mint variety. It is in the same category as a 1955 DDO and a 1972 DDO and the many Lincoln OMM's. It's an unintended Mint byproduct. Whether you want to include it in your Lincoln set is strictly up to you. |

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.
