1922 plain cent crossover question?

GrumpyEd

Is there a way to tell PCGS to only crack it if they'll slab it as a no D?
I don't care about the crossover grade.

The coin is an old PCI slab as F15 weak reverse 1922 no D.
No sign of a D from what I can see.

State that on the submission form.

If the coin is a weak reverse, then it would only cross as a weak reverse and labeled as such. if your wanting to know if it is in fact a strong rev incorrectly labeled in the current holder, its really easy to identify. First, the last 2 in the date is much stronger and sharper than the first 2 and 19 for that matter. secondly, In god we trust starts at very mushy and soft and sharpens up as it gets towards the end "trust". Take a look at the PCGS Counterfiet detection book (the first edition) as it has really clear pic's on the diagnostics.

Jim,

I agree with the PCI grade and weak reverse and that it's a no D.
Just wanted it in a PCGS slab at any grade but don't want it to come back a weak D.

It matches the diags for the weak reverse exactly and it has the slightly rotated reverse that I see on many of the PCGS slabbed weak reverse no Ds. It has no D under a microscope.

Ed, be sure and let me know how this plays out for you.

You need to call. I know pcgs and NGC at times will grade die 1 and 3 the weak reverse coins as no D's sometimes if no trace is there and at other times seem to call everything weak d. You have to call to see which way the wind is blowing.

I sent in a '22 with the last Quarterly special.
I can see no signs of a 'D', even under a 16x loop, yet it came back as a 'Weak D'.

Obviously GrumpyEd has the same concerns.

What is the criteria for a 'No-D' as opposed to a 'Weak D'?

GrumpyEd has even gone so far as to look under a microscope!!
Does PCGS stick with a 5x loop...10x, 16x? More magnification?

Or is it just the way the wind is blowing??
