Pre-order is now available on the Whitman site.
Unfortunately Alaska is the unwanted stepchild and requires additional steps and money to make it all happen. The nice lady on the phone was able to put my name down for one of each version. Expected ship date is December 16.

I preordered a hardback copy off Amazon on November 9. Release is November 30 according to them. Not sure if I'll be getting the Deluxe Edition though. That would be nice.
"Two things are infinite: human stupidity and the universe; and I'm not sure about the universe."
-Albert Einstein-Mistakes are natural. But repeated mistakes without reflection are something else. That may be the “stupidity” he was referring to. In research, he admitted uncertainty openly. “If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?” This shows humility. Even a Nobel laureate accepted doubt. That humility makes the quote less cynical and more observational.

Just checked my order for Enigmatic 1922 Lincoln cent book on Amazon. They are showing a picture of the professional edition of Tom's book as what I will be receiving. No delivery date given but it's still early.
1922 has been a favorite year of Lincoln cent with me since the early '60s when I was trying to fill my blue Whitman folder with circulation finds. I actually found a nice 1922-D in a roll from the bank in 1962 or 1963! Had an opportunity to buy a 1922 no D from a coin shop (Rocky Mountain Coin on South Broadway) in Denver around 1973 but didn't buy it, a nice XF. Asking price was $100 as I recall.

It had the strong reverse.

Good ol' Die Pair #2 with the strong reverse. I have identified that obverse die in earlier die states where the D gets weaker and weaker, but in those die states the obverse die was paired with a worn down reverse die. With the D and the different reverse it obviously has a different die pair number.
BTW, the disappearance of the mint mark was NOT caused by a die clash!

Works for me!Two copies would do the job at Amazon. But I had already put in an order for two copies of the book, plus a red book and another book to make it worth the $25 shipping charge Whitman charges. It is what it is.

Received mine yesterday from Whitman. They did a very nice job, especially with the photos, I know you pulled from several different sources but the photos have a nice consistency throughout the book.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

Got mine yesterday. Quite a good study for me. I have about 60 1922-D's and a few 1922 plains to ID. I hope I can ID them all-Due to the great content of this book, it may take me some time just to ID one of them. I have no previous education on this.
