Do most of you who collect Roosevelt dimes, do you include an example of the 1982 no mint mark Philadelphia coins? These coins seem similar to the 1922 "no D" LWC which is included in every LWC album, except the mint just plumb forgot to put the 'P" on the 1982 die. *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***Edited by EDM

No, I do not. My Dansco has no place for it, so it is not something I ever sought.

I really want one. I don't focus on Roosevelts per se, but 1982 and I love varieties and errors to make an otherwise rather mundane year sorta exciting. One of these day's I'll pull the trigger on a nice one. Heritage and Great Collections often have them and I see them at the local shows from time to time. So they aren't terribly rare. One day...

Poor choice of words. The 1922-D cents were all punched with a mintmark. They were so polished, they removed the mintmark. On the 1982 dimes, the mintmark was not added at all. So they are not like each other. Something was removed or something forgotten are two different things.
One was a die events. (more than one die was affected)
One was is a year variety. (Only one die was affected as far as I know)

Coop, my second question was not intended to be whether the two errors are similar but rather, why are errors such as the 1922 (no D) and also the 1955 double die included in all of the LWC albums but the 1982 (no P) Roosevelt dime are not included in the dime albums. Edited by EDM

I don't design the albums. Their choices to add these to the album. But the over polished die issues can happen on any die was the die is rescued by over polishing. The the 1982 dime is a year variety. From coin #1, this coin was struck. On the over polished dies, they are not the first strike that creates these. They are added later to the die, that alters the coins from what the fresher strike were creating as normal coins. Being a variety collector, I go get off on the exit ramps that don't concern me. I stick to the varieties. There are plenty enough of these to fill my lifetime.

I apologize, Coop. I didn't mean to imply that you were personally responsible for the albums design.  Edited by EDM

As an error and variety collector, it's one I always keep an eye out for when coin roll hunting, but I doubt most roosevelt collectors would consider it essential for constructing a date set.

My two cousins worked at Cedar Point Amusement Park at the time and probably had them in their pockets without knowing it.

Quote: why are errors such as the 1922 (no D) and also the 1955 double die included in all of the LWC albums but the 1982 (no P) Roosevelt dime are not included in the dime albums. I believe it is based on popularity. The first two are somewhat famous errors, if you can call the 1922 no D that (that hole annoys me), whereas the 1982 no P dime has a much smaller following. Or maybe the album makers did not feel like creating an update once the newer discoveries became well known. I think that could be why the 1979-S varieties have a place in the albums, but the 1981-S varieties do not. |
