1922 no d ?... Help TAPE !!!

mr

Do you think this is a no d ?? If you git just the right angle it looks like the something just kissed the coin ? Any way to remove the ( ugh) tape ??? THANKS !!!

AUandAG

Acetone might help the tape problem. may look really ugly after if the tape has eaten into the surface. I see what you see on the mint mark, maybe someone removed it?

Weird. The tape or whatever is enough to make it difficult to check for the die pair.

As @AUandAG mentioned a acetone soak is probably the first step.

dcarr

That is the "weak D" version, which is not priced nearly as high as the "no D" variety.
But in that grade the "weak D" is worth somewhat more than a regular D coin.
Acetone or lacquer thinner (and q-tip) will probably remove the gunk.

Definitely needs an acetone bath... I agree with dcarr's evaluation...Cheers, RickO

Agreed. A weak reverse and a mushy TRUST rule out the big dog. It's still a great coin with a real good story behind it.

Are all the weak "D" versions that low and near the rim as this photo. Not being a variety Lincoln collector, but still interested in learning. Most D mm's I have seen are quite nearer the date and between the 9 and 2, unlike this weak "D" which is way low and near the rim and between the twos. Even the Pic on coinfacts of the weak "D" is normal placement. Just curious.

I'm not sure what that little ding in the field is that you are pointing at, but the "D" is right where the top line of the arrow is pointing, between the 9 and 2 as you mention

That "little ding" looks far more like a "D" than the "weak d". just curious.
BTW if the tape residue comes off without damaging, you will have a nice variety.
