Since the slot in the Dansco album simply states "1922 Plain," I suppose a less expensive die-paring variety would suffice to fill the hole. Here's an article on the die paring varieties: Quote:
The good thing about the no D, you can buy a much more reasonable DP1, DP3 or DP4 coin. If you gotta fill that hole, go with one of the other die pairs. Lately I've seen those selling for $200-300 which is a more respectable price point. That is my plan to fill that darn hole.  Quote:I have a solution for most of us. call or e-mail Dansco and ask them to stop making their Lincoln albums with the holes for the 22-no D and 55 DDO . We cannot even get Dansco to make the new 7070, good luck getting them to change something like this.  |

Following up on the previous remark, a fairly nice looking F12 weak reverse sold for just over $300 on the bay yesterday.

In the end, you must decide for yourself how you define a complete collection.
As Coinfrog stated, a complete collection is a personal choice. My choice was to fit a century's worth of Lincoln Cents into one Dansco album, specifically the #8100 including proof-only issues. The 2nd page has a spot reserved for the 1922 Plain, which I settled for a lesser variety. On page 4, there is no space designated for a 1955 DDO, but I still wanted to include one, so I simply placed a DDO in the regular 1955 sIot (the DDO technically is a 1955 Philadelphia after all). But this decision threw off the lustrous look of this page, since the DDO is a darkish VF).  At the bottom of page 4 are three undated slots, which I filled with the three 2008 coins that did not fit at the very end of the album. After adding four more pages, which included the 1960 and 1982 date varieties, page 8 ended with the three 2007 cents. Consequently, I fit exactly 100 years of Lincoln cents in a very tight eight-page Dansco #8100 album.  My Page 4 configuration, where I utilized the blank spots for the 2008 cents is below:  |

captainrich, I really like your solution to the 1955 question. I can imagine casually handing someone the album to peruse, without mentioning it, to see if they notice. A side note is that when I read this, something jumped in the back of my head, and I remembered I had just read the following comment a few days ago, which might be of interest to you: This coin is mostly found between AU - MS 65. It is extremely unlikely to find a Good or Fine example. (From the Lincoln Resource Center) I have in fact always been curious why one rarely sees a 55 DDO in non-shiny condition. |

Centsei, I cracked the '55 DDO out of a Details slab. I guess a previous cleaning destroyed the luster, but the price was right and I'd always wanted one, so...  |

What does the reverse look like? The obverse is nice for a details coin. Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

That's still a very nice 55/55, I wouldn't care that it was in a details slab. It doesn't look like a details coin IMO. Compared with most details coins, this one is a winner!
