    I will say VF 30 not sure if they use NO D or strong reverse, but one of those 2.

    This being a special case (1922 No D, strong reverse), one must grade mostly from the reverse. I'll go with VF35 (it appears ever-so-slightly more worn than my VF35 of the same coin).

    I'll guess VF25, since nobody has guessed it yet.

    Strike quality was uniformly bad on the obverses of all 1922-D "No D" cents, so that is probably what you are seeing.

    It seems just a tad better than the VF20 I have so I'll go VF25, but will not be shocked if it grades higher.

    Not a Lincoln expert, but to me that second "2" looks pretty fishy.

    If this is the same coin (I believe it is); it looks good!

    This is an example of why I am afraid to buy coins based on a picture. Normally, I don't even participate in GTGs. Since my opportunities for in hand inspections are very limited, it seems to me the only option is to buy CAC coins that "appear" to be eye appealing.

    I actually bought this coin inside a $100 dansco on eBay. 90% of the coins were garbage but this was in the correct spot. The 09S, 14D and 31S were all cleaned to hell.

    I suspect that it's not so much the quality of the strike, generally, as a die polished to within an angstrom of its life (hence no "D").

    I saw somewhere that the reason for the missing "D" was some debris that built up in the mintmark recess on the die. I also remember reading that there were very few cent dies that year, and they got overworked. It was definitely not caused by die polish, because they only polish the fields of the coin, which are the high spots on the die.

    I'm pretty sure the reason for the filled "D" was some debris that built up in the mintmark recess. I also remember from somewhere that there were very few cent dies that year, and they got overworked. It was definitely not caused by die polish, because they only polish the fields of the coin, which are the high spots on the die.

    Neither one of us seems to be entirely correct!

    FWIW: From PCGS coinfacts:

    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 is believed to exist due to a pair of dies clashing with one another without a coin being in between the two dies. As a result, it is believed that a mint employee obtained an old obverse die and filed it down in order to improve its appearance. But instead, the mint employee ended up filing the D mint mark too much, and in return, created the 1922 No D Lincoln cents.

    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.

    I also think VF20, No D Strong Reverse

    From what I was told they are grading strict there.

    That’s a really nice looking 15. I would have guessed higher if I’d seen it sooner.

    a good find and nice getting an answer so soon as to how they would grade it.

    i need to go back and look up some other subs for this type and see why my estimated grade was so far off. i know these are a bit wonky to grade and all but that seems a little low even though i didn't post a grade estimate here.

    thanks for the journey from album pick to grade alanski.
