Why is the 22 no D considered a key date? To me, all LWCs were produced in Denver that year, so wouldn't the No D or weak D be more a variety? My thought is they just planned on 4 exact dies to meet demand but difft issues caused the no d or weak d. I can justify eventually buying a 09 S VDB one day, but I don't know if I ever will be able to buy a 22 no d. Others thoughts?

With many that is really a sore subject. Me for one. In many Albums the companies that make them put in slots for coin that really shouldn't be there. My Stupid Whitman Classic Album has slots for that 22 Plain, 55 Double Die, 72 Double Die, 95 Double Die. Let alone slots for all the 60's, 70's, 82's and who knows what is next.
I do not have a Dansco but I've heard they don't have slots for all those silly coins but do for the 22 pLain.
This would make people think it's a real coin but it is just a mistake. It's companies that make the Albums that decide what is real and what isn't.
You could always do as many do and either put in a faked one, a 22D, a coin reversed, or just a piece of paper.

yes, my old Whitman's just had the 22. Now that I recently purchased a Dansco, I saw the 22 no D. I'm leaning towards putting in another 22 D in the no D. But who knows right.

If you really want to just fool some people or feel good with a full Album, look into a weak D one. Some are really visable but weak and sort of cheap. Not really real cheap but worth filling a slot.

Definitely is odd to me that a coin album would include a coin which is the
result of a severely worn die. Lousy weak strike ugly bunch of coins
which suddenly become appealing because they carry a heavy price tag.
Of course I will admit a G4 16d merc looks nice to me so...

That's why I like my coins in 2x2's in a binder. I'm not anti album or anything, I just want my collection how I want it. When/if I'm ready to buy a 22 I'll get the best I can afford. I feel its another variety. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have one. Lol. Or two.

I think you should blame the RedBook, not the folder/albums. RB tends to be the final authority on what is part of a set. Adding to the confusion, about 40 years ago, there were four varieties of 22 plains, but since then, the TPG have decided only one is the "real" 22 plain. Values of the other three plummeted. |

I agree that it's a variety.
The only official 1922 cent was from the Denver mint, that some were produced without the 'D' is a result of mint error

The Red Book is made by Whitman and so are most of the older Albums. Of course today there are numerous other manufacturers of Albums and Folders but I wonder how many of them just copy Whitman? I used to have Whitman Folders with slots for the 1913 Liberty Head Nickel and one with a slot for the 1894S Liberty Head Dime too. Even today my Whitman Album for Indian Head cents has a slot for the 1856 Flying Eagle. Yes those are all real coins though but the 1922 Lincoln Cent just isn't for real. And as noted now there is this fuss about 4 different types. |

1922D is the only official cent issue for 1922. Any album that includes anything else isn't worth the material it's made of. End of story.
The whole hyped up market value around the 1922 cent without a mintmark is based upon lack of knowledge and mistaken identity. I do not subscribe to it nor do I teach it.
I use 20 pocket pages for my collection so I can gauge for myself what belongs in a collection.

Although I like Albums, I'm more and more considering doing the same thing. The ability to lable each 2x2 is really starting to look like the way to go. Might just be old age but I am getting tired of some manufacturer telling me what I MUST collect. |

It's not truly key date.
I love 22-D's but don't much care about the no D. It's just from an over-polished die, not really an error or variety in my eyes. Too bad it got so over-hyped because it's really not a very exciting coin IMO. I own a weak reverse one but only because my Grandfater felt compelled to fill that hole in his Whitman. LOL

Come over to the binder camp carl! Just think, you could put ALL of your folders into a single binder. Pocket pages are vastly superior for organizing a collection!  |
