Sometimes the album makers include a label for hole before the hold can be filled. If the coin is never made, which probably will not be case this time, the hole remains empty.

There have been times when living persons were on U.S. coins and currency. Calvin Coolidge was alive and in the White House the Sesquicentennial half dollar dollar was issued. Can you imagine the howls of protest if Trump were to apear on a current coin today?



Senate majority leader, Joseph Robinson, was alive when the Arkansas - Robinson half dollars were struck, although he died a few months after that. He was in office when the legislation that authorized this coin was passed. It would have been pretty for a Democrat to have voted against this bill in the Senate when you boss was sitting there counting the votes.



Living politicians and bureaucrats also appeared on paper money in the 19th century.

I remember having a blue Whitman Lincoln Cents folder with a hole for a 1965-D cent. No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!

 

Stop with the Political comments. Points awarded and some on the verge of possible departing. This is a coin forum, and most posts concern that situation, so keep it that way. Yes, every political year, people on both sides want to get in their favorites. Go to Yahoo or other boards and not this one! Jim
