Mattman88 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 03/13/2017 10:22 am I have a Lincoln Cent album with 2 slots for the 1955 cent. Anyone know the reason for 2 slots? Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 03/13/2017 11:48 am The blue Whitman album and folder was made to hold the bigboy of doubled Wheat ear cents, the 1955-P, and labeled that way. Other manufacturers just add the unlabeled space like yours. What most do, including myself is fill the hole w/ the "Poor man's" doubled-die. That's the die deteriorated version where the date's 5's have a "ghosting" effect, actually just plum worn out die. Report this Post to the Staff

These albums are sold as containing no Polyvinyl Chloride, but they will still leave something on the surface of your coins over a long period of time.

Even in MS grades, only few dollars. Many people do put that one in place of the real Doubled Die. Report this Post to the Staff
