SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10456 Posts	Posted 02/25/2021 11:52 pm What's wrong with a hole in a coin album? Or are you one of those people that I would love to do this to?

Dearborn Moderator United States 94574 Posts	Posted 02/26/2021 07:36 am For now, I have a very weak 'D' in place, but I am always looking and will find that no 'D' coin. I suggest you be patient but vigilant for that special no'D' coin that suits your fancy (and wallet). Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 02/26/2021 07:52 am Quote: The first is the 1922 no D )Die pair 2) and second is the 1922 weak D (die pairs 1,3, and 4) the D isn't visible on either of them. If the D isn't visible on either of them, then why do they call it a weak D variety ? Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 02/26/2021 08:48 am I went with the copper blank. I'm in the group that can't justify the premium for a late die state 22D. This would still be the case on the weak D as well, just not as extreme. Why put the incorrect coin in its place? Technically speaking a blank isn't a coin, it's all or nothing!! Either hold out for the real deal or fill it with "nothing" (a blank). My twisted logic. OR Enlarge the hole and fill it with an Ike. Might as well if you're going to fill it with the incorrect coin!

EDM Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 02/26/2021 09:02 am Agree with the above, "you either have a 22 no D or you don't". Leave it blank. Collecting is a method of learning patience with no short cuts to (false) gratification. My 1856 Flying Eagle cent slot will remain empty until I win the super lottery.

I guess at some point it did not like the non-alphanumeric characters I had in there.

KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 02/26/2021 09:18 am One of the things I don't like about leaving an open hole long term is that the coin behind it shows through - and to my tired old eyes, it looks like the hole is filled sometimes. So - oh, you have an 09-S VDB! NOPE! I've got a 21-S showing through My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!) Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 187446 Posts	Posted 02/26/2021 09:49 am Thank you all for the replies. It seems that "The Copper Blank I Found" is the popular choice to fill that hole I wish Dansco had not included. I have always wanted the 1909-S VDB to be the last hole filled in my album and I think I have a solution. I could focus on the 09SVDB. When I find one, I could put the blank into the 22 Plain hole and then place 09SVDB in its hole. Album complete. Of course, if that blank ever bothers me I can "upgrade" that hole. I typically do not like upgrades, but I know plenty of you play the game.

Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3323 Posts	Posted 03/03/2021 10:46 am I put a weak-D in that slot. My reasoning is that since the no-D was simply a die polishing issue, the weak D would illustrate the progression toward the ultimate absence of the D. I just wouldn't pull the trigger on a coin of that price for what it is. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff

Because die pairs 1,3, and 4 can come either with or without the D showing. Die pair 2 always has it missing. Quote: Oh c'mon. You either own a '22 Plain or you do not. But even if you have a 22 "plain" it is still a 1922 D cent Report this Post to the Staff
