Nice dime! Wow, 2 more to go! What are the last 3 dates that you need?


2 more and what are the last 3?

I don't consider them required for a full set, but most people probably include the micro S. I don't see why that one usually has a hole, but not other mint-mark varieties like the 1928 large-S, or the types of 1917 get no love.

That is one of those many things some manufacturers of coin Albums and Folders do that irritates a lot of collectors.
Yes your right. There are numerous other Mercury dimes with large and small Mint Marks and yet only the 45 gets recognition. Might be due to the first one noticed or something like that.
Some have a slot for the 42/41 and not the 42D/41 too.
A recent big discussion about that lousy 22 Plain Lincoln Cent too. So why the slot for the 3 legged Buffalo nickel?
With any and/or almost all coins it appears the manufacturer of the Album or Folder you use determines what your collection should be.

Dansco albums have slots for the 3-legged and the 1918/7-D, although not the 1916 DDO or the 1914/3.

Although, to speak Devil's advocate in favor of the micro S, it is the most distinctive mintmark variety. Some of the others are subtle, or there is a distinct difference in style, but the sizes are mostly the same, but the micro S is MUCH smaller than a regular S.
