Is this 1922 Cent real or forgery?

I would never buy one of these raw just because I am not experienced enough in detecting counterfeits.
It seems like a no-brainer to get it authenticated first to maximize the value.

Looks real but I don’t think it’s AU and it’s almost certainly been messed with. GSC is notorious for selling problem coins advertised as Gems. Avoid them like the plague.
It should have been graded.. Pass.
possibly cleaned
Possibly cracked out of a 'Details' holder.............

Examine the photo very carefully. There is a lot to see and possibly be wary of by looking.
this seller maximizes their value by selling raw
I don't like it. Obverse looks too crisp to me. It's been cleaned a re-colored for sure.
Details holder. That's probably why it is raw.
Pass. I'll bet the "D" has been removed.
Good point.
As others have said, if this coin is so great, why isn't it in a holder?

What is happening on “Liberty”
Super giant L tiny I then a crisp B letters then get progressively larger ending in a giant TY.
Is this common distortion?

Genuine die #2 No d, but xf details, surfaces have been altered , treated, not original by no means
It's real. No doubt. Has all the PUP's.
But it has been processed, IMHOP.

As they say in Texas ... El Paso.
Real. But I would never buy one raw, especially from GSC.

Looks authentic, but definitely processed....It sold for a significant price though....Cheers, RickO
The image of the OP's original coin is gone! On that coin "TRUST" was very bold!
I am still curious if the look of LIBERTY is common on these? I see Irregularities in size and boldness. Some screen shots of the coin in question

The spacing of the 2's look to wide...GSC.
Checked my notes. The coin is genuine but not original. Still pass.
Mushy motto, strong TY, 2s look a little different. Coin looks legit
These shouldn’t be that hard to buy raw. Valuing them on line with blasted highlight photos bound to hide problems and wear makes my offer and interest low.
