Thought that the photo enlargement feature had returned. My bad.

    Great pic. I also miss the photo enlargement feature. :(

    I guess they must have pulled that die early. It was not around long enough to make any "No D" 1922 cents.

    Maybe it helped to create the "no D" die states. One of the few dies the Denver Mint had failed early on.

    Tom, thanks for sharing that photo.

    I've never seen one in-hand, and I'd have
    to consider it one of the rarest full Cud

    I'm glad that works for you but not everyone has a touch screen on their computer. One used to be able to just click on the pic to get an expanded view.

    Tom, I hope that coin is yours. I don't recall ever seeing obverse die breaks on any 1922 cent.

    Not my coin. Just threw it up there as a test picture. Thought for a while that the photo enlargement feature had been restored, but I was wrong.

    Enlargement works. Right-click on the picture, choose Open In New Window. Exact wording of that command will depend on your browser.

    (and yes, nice pic)

    if you are using Windows 10 and the pictures will not expand for you

    Right click on the picture and scroll down to "Ask Cortana about this picture" and click on that, it will then open a side page

    then click on where it says "see full size Image," click on it, it will then open a new page with just the picture

    then you will be able to click on the full size picture to zoom a little more into it.

    That worked just as you described. Thank you.

    There are work arounds, but I still prefer the old method of just clicking on the picture...Oh well, we will adjust... ;) Cheers, RickO

    I'm not giving up. I'm still hoping that PCGS will eventually fix this problem. :)
