Ike dollar won't go into folder

So a few years ago I tried putting this in an album. Yeah it was wayyyyy to big. Add extra 1/3 cm then it'd fit. Any ideas why?

isnt the 1974 a key date?

 

1974D?

 

Mine is a 1974D.

 

I have no idea if it is a key date or not.

 

Sigh......


No, it's not a "key date".

 

With a mintage of under two million, the 1973 and 1973-D would be considered the key dates if there is such a thing as an Ike key date. The 1974-D had a mintage over 45 million.

 

There aernt really any key dates I hear.

 

As Kirk said, if any could be considered such, the two 1973s, which have identical mintages (as they were only released as part of the set) would likely be it.

 

I knew it was 74 or 73. sorry for the mixup

 

He didn't ask about whether it was a key date or not. Christ...stay on topic Josh.

 

WSS...show us a picture of the folder you are trying to shove this thing into.

 

Ike is not Lincoln.

 

It was there to show size

 

I was putting it In a U.S. type folder

 

What type of folder are you using ?

 

The coin is the right size according to the 2x2.

 

The Lincoln cent for size comparison is useless. Calipers would be more accurate.

It's my guess that the album is the culprit.

Agreed, if it was 1/3 cm too large it wouldn't fit in the 2X2.
