EMel9281 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 02/12/2008 10:17 am Good morning, everyone! I'm new to coin collecting and this site, and something has been bugging me. I started filling up a Whitman Lincoln Penny folder from 42-74, and at the end of the book, there are three slots that say, "Varities." What does that mean? What is one supposed to put into those slots? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

They are extra holes, so you can put whatever in them; there is not anything specific that must be there. Edit to Add: 1974 was the last year LHC were minted at San Francisco for circulation. 1975 only had two coins (1975 and 1975D). You could put those there, but you would still have one hole; and the next folder starts with 1975, so you would still have duplicates. Many see the break between 1974 and 1975 as significant because of the "S" mint stopping.

You could put anything in there from a doubled die to an RPM to small/large date not listed. Report this Post to the Staff
