    I think that looks just like what Mr. Whitman had in mind.

    It's rare to ever see one like that. When I was a kid, I poured through several hundred thousand pennies from the parking meters. I never found one like that even though I found a couple of 14 Ds and 09 S VDBs and all the rest of the rare ones many times over.

    Very nice. image
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

    It's the real "strong reverse" variety, which is the most desirable of the three, but nasty gash in front of Lincoln's nose kinda spoils things. I think that it has also been cleaned at some point. Still it's a nice collectors' "Lincoln set coin" that is well worth having.

    Bill,

    The color of the reverse pic is a little off. It is more of an even chocolate brown color. I hasnt been cleaned. I would grade it VF-20. Any other opinions?

    F-15 with damage.

    Overall I think the coin has a pleasing look.

    Here is an example in a PCGS slab with a bigger gash on the reverse. Do you think PCGS would slab this one?

    I like it.

    Nice color and pleasing look to it.

    Reminds me of my 1856 FE cent with a punch mark. .

    I'm a little surprised the PCGS slabbed the coin in the Heritage auction. I guess that the mark was small enough and well enough hidden on the reverse that they chose to ignore it. I'm not so sure about the obverse mark on your coin. It's really obvious in the middle of a clear field. For that reason I would not try PCGS because I think that there is a good chance that the coin will get a BB. I'd send it to ANACS.

    That hit in the field is a tough one. That said, I like that coin. I agree with Bill and would not send it to PCGS, it would go off to ANACS if it were mine. PCGS will BB that one IMHO.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    It is the real thing, a die #2 strong reverse- the real 1922 No-D. Nope, it hasn't been cleaned either. It looks like it is fine since the lines in the wheat ears are mostly separated.

    I think PCGS will call it a damaged coin due to the large mark on the obverse. This was not mint caused damage.

    I'll echo what others have said; it's very nice except for that big hit on the obv. Still I like it.
