1922 Lincoln,how many minted and do any of you have one, if so what's your grade

Ogden

Would anyone venture a guess as to the mintage of the 22 Plain Lincoln, strong reverse? Also if you have one, what is the grade of yours. I have a F12. Also where do you see the value of this coin going in the years to come.

I don't own one, but would love a nice red mint state example. I can't remember reading about mintage estimates, so I can't be much help there either.

LanLord

David Lange says mintage unknown.

It's (this goes without saying) no more than could be minted with a single die pair. So if you look at historical information on how many cents the mint produced per die pair, you would have a theoretical maximum. At least close, anyway.

You have to remember though that the obv die was already being used past the end of its normal life. If more obverses had been available it would have been retired much earlier. Now di life back then was probably in the neighborhood of 400,000 pieces or so and his obverse was very close to the end of that when it was repolished and the mintmark removed. My guess (no data to back it up) would be probably not more than 50,000 coins. (Consider that these always come with the rev sharp. The obverse was retired before the reverse had a chance to experience any serious wear.)

Stewart,
You never cease to amaze.

Stewart, you have the 1922 plain in MS64 red? I'll have to see it to believe it. Only 2 have graded red and the MS64 is the highest graded. Only 27 have graded uncirulated.

This coin is not too tough to find in VF or lower but is very rare in EF and above. I have one NGC graded VF35. That grade drive me insane. It is so close to an EF. The holder is badly scratched so I need it reholdered before I can show a nice picture of it.

I was at the ANA luncheon when Stewart rec'd all of his Registry awards. David Hall got excited about Stewart's Lincoln collection! No doubt he has it.

I don't have one myself, but I just looked up the pop on NGC/PCGS of the No-D strong reverse. About 2350 total between the two.

seanq

Mine was in an ANACS slab, VF Details net Fine Cleaned. It now has a new home. Oh, it also has a rim clip.

I have no clue about a mintage, but like any key coin in a popular series, you have to like the long-term prospects for holding and/or increasing in value.

Stewart collects Lincolns??

PCGS VF..

jdimmick

I had a PCGS-53, but just sold it last month, cause I was offered insane money for it. Can always find another for what the buyer paid me to get it.



Paul, that is the reddest 22 plain I have ever seen. I was curious to know what Stewart's 64 red looked like, but he didnt have any photo's avaible when I asked him while back!

clw54

I have a PCGS VG08.

Merc

That 1922 plain is unreal. Here it is hard to tell if it is fully red or 95% red with some mellowing. Still, these are so rare uncirculated. Stewart, you have full control of the 1922 unc market. How did you do it?

Does anyone know how many NGC has graded unc?

The Cherrypickers' Guide estimates the rarity as URS-11 (501 to 1000.) Lange mentions that after the obverse die was polished, it was paired with a "fresh" reverse die. Allen/Wexler says that the reverse die was "previously used, showing little signs of wear."

Here is a tid bit of infor for ya!

There are a few NGC MS-61 , 62 graded 22 No "d" that would not grade better than 55 at PCGS if submitted raw.!!

There are a few members here that will back me up on this, maybe not on record, but there out thier.
