I have an old Whitman Folder that had a slot for the 1913 Liberty Head Nickel. Also, an Album with a slot for the 1894S Liberty Head Dime. I keep hoping for a low grade one for those slots.  Most newer Albums do not have a space for those.

Most newer Albums do not have a space for those. I have seen these slots in old albums. I have heard of albums coming with, or people making, an insert for those holes saying "Extremely Rare", etc. Of course, an empty hole in an album can drive people crazy too.

Quote: Half of catalog should be the most, and often less than that. Half of catalog is not the most a details coin should ever go for. They are not all equal, some should go for less and some should go for more. It all depends on what it is

I just added this 1886 to my V-nickel album. It has 2 faint scratches on the obverse that I don't see most of the time. For $138 it was a good acquisition to me over a clean good condition example. It does not look too out of place.

I get it. Thomas might stand out a bit less. Just saying.

Ah, Incentive. I get that, too. Good luck with the last hole! It could be worse, right?
