Is this a 1922 No D Strong Reverse Penny?

Jcld

Hi all



The amazing hoard of coins I inherited has yielded another interesting find.

I could use your opinion on whether this is the 1922 No D strong reverse penny or not.



Thank you

Yes. Looks to be about VF30. There is some light tape or glue residue on the obverse, which would easily be taken off with a Q-tip and acetone. I think it would grade after that is removed.

The verdigris spot under Lincoln's lower lip could prove to be problematic. It ain't goin' away. Genuine, environmental damage.

looking closer at the picture it does appear that at some point there was a piece of celo tape or something diagonally across the coin from about 11 to 5.

Thank you. I have been collecting coins in a casual way for a long time, always checking my pocket change for wheat pennies and checking the give a penny leave a penny tray, but nothing compares to being gifted 10k plus mostly raw, unsorted coins of all variety. I am in heaven and learning so much about about the hobby and what to look for.

I would recommend having this conserved by one of the major TPG services and slabbed.

Definitely have that coin conserved and graded. Try some acetone yourself 1st and see if a toothpick or rose thorn can persuade that carbon spot off. Many people don't realize you grade 22 No D's by the reverse. All 22 Strong Reverse coins the Obv. is a solid grade lower than the Rev. I believe the coin is a solid XF! albeit as it sits now a details grade.

If you are not experienced with cleaning coins, do not do it yourself. You could damage the coin and decrease its value.

Looks real and VF30 to me, but damaged. I'd do my own acetone soak before spending to have PCGS do it.



edit to add: What do you make of the raised dots on both sides? This is commonly found on cast coins.

Welcome to the forums. I do not post much at this time but I saw this thread and decided to post a reply.

You may have already done so in a prior thread I did not see, so I ask you to provide a general description of the collection you inherited ( for example US vs. Non US or both; circulated or mint state or proof or a combination; copper, nickel, silver, gold, clad or a combination; 21st, 20th, 19th, 18th century or earlier; coins only or coins and currency; slabbed or raw or both; complete collections of a series or an accumulation; varieties; errors; toners; etc.). Further was it passed to you by a family member who collected or by non family.

Do not mean to be nosey, but collectors like to hear stories and people on the forums have great knowledge and experience that they will share. This can make your experience with the collection more fun.
