I have 2

I keep my collection in CAPS pages and I have one page for mint sets that I think are interesting

From top to bottom I have the 1964, 1976, West Point Reverse Proofs & 2018 Reverse Proofs

The last row might be use for the 2026 Penny, Nickle, Dine & Half depending on how I end up organizing them

I don't think I'll every fill the spot for the West Point Reverse Proof Dime


Do-You-Have-Any-Holes-That-May-Never-Be-Filled


I also have part of a page for my ASE Bullion Type set

The first row has the 1986 Bullion and then the 2021 Type 1 & Type 2 Bullion Coins.

The Last spot on the first row is for the LAST ASE Bullion issued so I doubt that will happen in my life time

I have an almost complete Wheat Cents collection that my papa gave me. It was passed down to me by him. I only need the 1909 S VDB Wheat cent to complete it. However, as you know, they're very expensive.

I expect my last three holes to be filled. So, no.

I would say the 1909-S VDB will almost certainly never be filled, unless I win the lottery I never play or get a high-paying job that doesn't exist in my field. The 1895-O Barber dime is also approaching that price threshold too, except in very low grades.

Did I miss something? AFAIK, the only Roosies with the W mint mark are the 1996-W BU and the 2015-W Ag PRF. When did they mint a W Reverse Proof Roosevelt dime? Or are you saying that you don't think there will ever be one minted?

BTW, I do like your CAPS albums

The only reverse proof dimes I can think of...

2018 San Francisco Silver Reverse Proof set.

2015 March of Dimes Silver Set, which has a reverse proof P dime and a regular proof W dime.

Nothing with reverse proof W. We might have gotten one in 2021 if they did not ruin what they had going with the 2019 cent and 2020 nickel.

My 1895 hole in the coin collector Morgan dollar album will never be filled. Why do they do that?

Yes, I don't think West Point will ever mint a Reverse Proof Dime as a stand alone item like the Penny and Nickle

Just put a regular W proof in the album backwards and call it a day.

Yes. A pain point. The dime always gets the shaft.

Two days ago, I would have said no. But now that I just got laid off - I'm going to have LOTS of holes that may or may not get filled But for now, I'm putting a pause on all my Mint subscriptions..

John sorry about the bad news. On my career I've been laid off 3 different times, I look at it as an opportunity to find something better.

I don't start sets that I won't finish so the answer is no, but it may take a while to do it. I'm going to try and get 3 more holes filled in my slabbed IHC set this year and the 1893 and 1895 Morgan's will get filled eventually.

There's something about a 'Swiss cheese' album...
