*** Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. Titles are Important! ***Poll time... How many of us feel that we need to have a 1922 Plain Lincoln in our LHC collection to make it truly complete? Obviously, it's viewed by many as an error coin, so if we include it, we probably have to include 1955 and 1972 DD's, as well as other varieties. Opinions please!

The 22 has been included forever. Any set book I've ever seen, from the simplest to the most superb include it.

LWC of course. In my experience, most serious collectors consider the '22-Plain part of the set, but not necessarily the DDs.

I do not include it as it is due to die deteriation so it is really just a 22-D with a bad strike. I put a mint token from a Denver mint set in the hole as a snub to Dansco.

LWC + LMC = LHC Ok .... but maybe add it to the glossary for those of us that just call them Lincoln Cents  I don't collect LWCs, only LMCs, but now that I know what LHC is  my answer would be no. It's just a result of die polishing which isn't really even a die variety/error IMHO. I also don't have a 37-D 3 legged Buffalo nickel in my nickel collection for the same reason  Edited by BadDog

I, personally, do not consider it anything other than a Denver mint coin. I want a Denver mint coin to have the D mint mark.

I would feel that it's part of a complete set, and spend the money to get one. However, I don't collect LWCs that much, but if I ever started a collection, I would definitely have one. This coin, in my opinion, is a significant variety that should be included in any LWC set. Just my opinion. Edited by SilverDollar2017

True. Regardless of its origins, it has become rather iconic. Or infamous. You be the judge.  |

My old basic Whitman #9004 only has the hole for the 1922 D. I've had it since the late 1950s when Lincoln cents were a common find in South Western Ontario.

I don't see why not, I just hole fill it with weak D's though. Maybe Dansco should do something like Weak D/No D for the 22. Just my 2 cents.

I like the "22-P" as part of the set, but don't see the word "complete" as ever applying to any of my sets. I had a "complete" set Kennedy halves with proofs. Then I learned of the 1965-67 SMS halves. I got them. What? Matte finishes on some halves from 2005-2010 - OK - got 'em Matte proof 1988? Cool - got it. Then I heard about the 1964 Accented Hair variety (still need that one - just been lazy about it). Then the No FG varieties (including No F varieties). Then the DDOs, DDR, and RPMs (got the ones major enough to see without a microscope) Ooh... rotated dies (not yet!) Daniel Carr made what? Well - why not! It was fun showing a few of my close/trusted friends the JFKs to see if they noticed the 1963 and 1975 (nope!). Oh, certain dates are known for good clashes? Yup - got some of those. Where does the word complete enter? Whoops someone on CCF posted the accented hairs varieties come with REV I and REV II! To me the word "complete" is a misnomer. But, its what keeps each coin set "alive" for me. |
