Anyone know information on the 1922-D Pennys with THREE Die Cracks?

Rollfinder78

I picked up an example today and I'm trying to find information about it.

Thats the type I am speaking about. Does anyone know how rare this type is?

Please provide a little more info.
Obverse, reverse, rim to head, rim to wheat ear etc .

There's one with three mega big bisecting cracks on the reverse.
Is that the one you have?

They have been posted here before, if the search function works for you you'll see some threads.


Added:
I did find one thread but there are other threads that show the same die in a later state where the cracks meet in the center like the die was ready to give.

Got a link to the type I am speaking of

Ah, one of my favorites! The cent was popular here with Board members a few years back. This was an UNC example I no longer owned. Its a fairly common coin. If you search enough you can find the cracks getting longer and longer. This example was not one of many made as the die crack is reaching about as far as I have seen it past the E in cent.

I have a customer who collects every one he can find in every die state. There are actually 4 cracks in the later die states, with a tiny crack from the rim right above one of the letters in "unum" (I don't see it present on any of the examples posted so far in this thread).

I'm fascinated with this variety that includes three die cracks in the 1922-D strong reverse Lincoln cent. The primary crack is in the "O" in ONE; the second is in the top 1/8th of the right wheat stalk, and the third is in the bottom 1/4th of the left die stock. I've love to find more of these... and a fourth die crack in this series would be great !!!

Another one to add to the 'check for this' wheatie list.... Cheers, RickO

Hey fundaddy56, I'm curious, you joined the forum in Feb. and first posting the 7th of June?

My 2 pictures of the 1922 D with 3 cracks that were listed in the original post were hacked and listed some other sort of advertisement. Needless to say I deleted them. I am thinking maybe “funndaddy” had something to do with this??????

Possibly took him that long to go through the old threads to make a comment about.

I was going to suggest the expert, The Penny Lady, but I see that she already "Charmed" in.
