***Auction highlight*** 1922 no D Lincoln Cent 1c Graded ms63 bn By SEGS. It exhibits all the die characteristics which define the 1922 Plain. When looking at a 1922 look for the following to determine if it is the 1922 Plain which is also known as Die Pair #2: Absolutely no trace of a D, Second 2 in date is sharper than the first 2, All letters in TRUST are sharp, WE is only slightly mushy, L in LIBERTY butts up against the rim, Reverse is sharp with nice wheat lines. According to Jaime Hernandez from PCGS, ‘The 1922 No D Lincoln cent is the only circulation strike coin, in the entire Lincoln cent series which lacks its intended mint mark. In 1922, the Denver Mint was the only Mint which produced cents for that year. Consequently, all 1922 cents should bare the D mint mark. However, since the Denver Mint was under extreme pressure to produce cents for that year, there was a lot of sloppiness in the production process. The 1922 No D Lincoln cent has always been recognized as a major variety within the Lincoln cent series. Due to its popularity this coin has always commanded a hefty premium. The 1922 No D Strong Reverse Lincoln cent is very challenging to acquire due to its high value in any grade. Up for Auction is one of the most sought and elusive of all Lincoln cents, the 1922 No D, Strong Reverse, Die Pair #2. This coin can most easily be graded accurately by judging the reverse, as the obverse was struck with dies so worn as to make accurate grading very difficult. Below is a good summary of what to look for when buying a raw 22 no D. “ When looking at a 1922 look for the following to determine if it is the 1922 Plain which is also known as Die Pair #2: Absolutely no trace of a D, Second 2 in date is sharper than the first 2, All letters in TRUST are sharp, WE is only slightly mushy, L in LIBERTY butts up against the rim, Reverse is sharp with nice wheat lines. “ According to Jaime Hernandez from PCGS, The 1922 No D Lincoln cent is the only circulation strike coin, in the entire Lincoln cent series which lacks its intended mint mark.
