This belongs to a new member and he reached out on this coin for help.
This SEEMS to have all the right attributes, but I’m no expert, and I’m sure fakes abound. Of course certification would ultimately be needed, but if any of the experts can spot that it’s likely a fake or alteration, it could save the cost and effort.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and opinions!

Looks good to me, but others’ opinions carry a bit more weight than mine. From the reverse I’d grade it VF.

Looks good........

From what I see it looks kosher

It looks OK to me.
It has all the right diagnostics.

Im good with it to 👍
I'd give it a go.
Please email me the individual pictures.
If you can, take a better picture of the reverse first. There seems to be a slight bend in the coin from the M of AMERICA up through the N of CENT to the E of ONE. Might just be the lighting.
If you are doing that, take a shot of the obverse with the light coming from the left side of the coin.
Looks good to me also.
If the owner of this coin sees this message, please contact me.
"TRUST" looks very odd to me unless it is just worn die or strike distortion.

Wow!
I had a non strong reverse one. This looks more like a strong reverse. Not an expert.
This appears to be the Late Die State of Die Pair #2. Not all DP#2 coins are alike. I would like to get permission to use these pictures, or better ones, in my book to illustrate the die state.
Until looking at the TrueView photos on CoinFacts, I had not realized how much variation there can be in the look of LIBERTY and the motto.

The distended U and flat bottom S in TRUST instead of curved up tail looked unusual to me at first on the original posted coin, There is at least this one that gets close to the same look, though still maybe not quite as late state looking as the OP photos.

Looks legit to me.
Yes, that is close. However, I would like to use the higher grade OP coin.
I have lots of unpublished info on the various 1922 cents, if I can just get the publisher I like to commit.
