is the 1922 no d a integral part of the Lincoln collection? or is it an error coin? it is listed on the Lincoln check lists unlike lets say the 1955dd. so do I need this to say the set is done or not? thoughts

Your collection is yours, you make the choice when it comes to what makes your set up. Some people can only afford to make a year set. Some can only make a set that starts at a certain point. Some use a price guide such as the Red Book and try to get one of every coin listed in the series. Others have sets that contain other doubled dies and over mint mark coins that will probably never find their way to a popular standard price guide. I have started to collect some Canadian cents and nickels. I would consider myself to be the owner of a complete set of these in nickels and small cents. The next guy might have some coin I don't. It might even be a very valuable variety but I will be happy with what I have. I have all the Jefferson proofs and many Jefferson nickels and many of the varieties, even some that are probably never going to make it to the price guide but that's what I choose to include in my set. Someday, it might help if my tripled die reverse 1955 Proof Jefferson gets it's spot in the Red Book since it is pretty dramatic but not there yet. If people were using the Red Book for a checklist, it is subject to change. Once a coin shows up there it stays there and the price is usually going to rise once it becomes more well known. I have a complete set of UNC Franklin's, but only some proofs. I would like to have all the proofs, but I have put it off. Then there is a 1956 TY 1 and 2 Proof. Will I add that and a bugs bunny? I dunno. I still have a complete set of Franklins according to me. Ultimately your set is complete as you describe it. That is, if you want to consider it complete on your terms. That's my opinion.

Quote:wheezydog posted I posted a similar discussion here a few months back: http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/..chTerms=1922 My how times change! I was very active back as the TPG s and MS system were first starting out. At the time I personally felt they were changing the hobby focus enough that it was not as fun as it used to be (and still hold to this). Although I also see where the system is a refining to tell which coins actually are superior. Anyway, back in them thar day o' yore, the 22 plain, 55DD, and 72DD were just considered to be part of the set, and had been since before I was born. As someone on the posted thread mentioned, it, no doubt was b/c of the RedBook. However, I also think it was due to another thing. No one back then looked through microscopes to find different varieties. Only the major, I-kin-see-it-w/out-no-magnuficashun varieties were considered. Neither view is more correct, incorrect, proper, improper, or has to be a more enjoyable approach to the hobby. It is just a sign of the times. Collect what, and how, YOU want. No matter what a psychological thorn an empty album hole can be, don't let a little vacant slot dictate your enjoyment. Do what someone else on the forum did - and posted - put a 22 caliber shell casing it the hole!

There is a hole for it in my Dansco album, but I really dislike it being there. There are many different ways one could fill that hole, but I will most likely put a very worn "weak D" in that slot just to save the money.

I have five 1922-Ds and I know I can sandpaper-off those mint marks anytime I want and that's good enough for me.

Oh... I filled the hole in my dansco with a Denver mint token from one of the mint sets.

Now that would be an interesting topic. NO not another 22 no D thing. But a post on how many people put someting else in those slots in all Albums just to not have that stupic empty slot starring at you all the time. Not sure of all the other Types such as Littleton, Intercept Shield, etc., but Whitman Classic Albums have all sorts of stupid slots for the Lincoln Cent. Most of mine have slots for the 22 plain, 55 Double Die, 72 Double Die, 95 Double Die. Also, slots for what is labled as Varieties where your supposed to place one Wheat and one Lincoln Building one in each slot. Then too there are slots for all the 60's, all the 70S's, all the 82's. I wonder if they keep this up will the future Whitman Albums have about 1,000 pages?  Imagine an entire shelf in a bookcase for just one Album.  Having to hire a body builder to help you get it off the shelf.

My old whitman album says "1922 no mintmark" and that is what is in there. Of course the reverse is weak so it's not the "right" die pair but it looks great in there! It's one of the nicer weak d if ever seen.

It is an error coin...produced by the Denver mint. Nothing more, nothing less.

Quote: It is an error coin...produced by the Denver mint. Nothing more, nothing less. BUTTTTTtttt what if that is only what the Mint wants you to think. What if there really was a 1922 Phily cent coin made there and they just don't want YOU to know that.  Just like in 1965, 66 and 67 there really could have been coin minted in SanFrancisco but kept a secret by not putting the S on them. This would make the amount minted larger and those working in the Phily Mint make more money although they didn't really do much.  And I also have a 1908 Lincoln Cent in my collection too. But it's only a type 2  I put this in my Album #1
