I say counterfeit too.

Yup,that second 2 looks funky. Peace Roy

I think counterfeit too. That one is a little better than most but a quick examination tells the truth.

braddick

Yep.
The second photo in the auction: look at the top of the (reverse) rim. It confirms what I would have up to that point strongly suspected.

Sorry, but I do not know the diagnostics for the 22 no D. Is there a website that lists them?

CaptHenway

Ok thanks. Please report.

I’m going solely off the size and shape of the nose - jimmy durante

The second 2 can be weak because of the ground die

The descender on the 9 looks wrong too

The second 2 should be stronger than the first as well as a sharp TRUST. LIBERTY should be practically obliterated. The second two and LIBERTY are the tells on this one.

Reported. Thanks!

I agree Lincoln's face is off (as well as the other tells).

Yes, looks like an alibaba fake. If a 22 no d looked that good with that color, you could literally ask what you wanted for it and get it.

Die struck counterfeit (not a removed mintmark).

Thanks all for the details of why it is a fake.
