Toned MS 22 no D Lincoln completes my set

My MS basic Lincoln Cent set primarily resides in two Dansco albums 8100 & 8104, except for 6 key & semi key dates still in their holders. Minimum grades are MS64 RB to RD.
Until this past week the last hole in my set was the 1922 no D. Now that I have the coin in hand I'm comfortable stating it looks just as amazingly nice as the TV.
I'm not a collector of toned coins, but this one spoke to me. The strong strike and details, IMO, are better than higher graded coins I've looked at. The toning might be playing a part in adding dimension.
It isn't RD or RB but I'm just as excited to add this super piece to round out my set:
USAF (Ret.) 1985 - 2005. E-4B Aircraft Maint. Crew Chief and Contracting Officer.
✓ Everyman Mint State Carson City Morgan Dollars (1878 – 1893)
✓ Morgan Dollar GSA Hoard (1878 – 1891)
✓ Everyman Mint State Lincoln Cents (1909 – 1958)
✓ Matte Proof Toned Lincoln Cents (1909 – 1916)

Superb example. Gotta be the finest I've seen on this board in many moons.
Great example.

That is a beautiful example, and the obverse seems to be in a relatively early die state. Congratulations on completing your set, that's a great feeling. If you have pics of the album, I would love to see the other coins as well.

Congrats on completing that set. Looks amazing.
Oh I was in USAF too fighters.
Wow, those are so TOUGH, you can find nice 1909 S VDB's all day long.
It looks like you've completed your set with a really nice, early die state, decently detailed obverse to a very tough coin.

Congratulations on finishing your set. A huge accomplishment. That 22 Lincoln is a very beautiful coin too.
👍👍
Yes, this is the early die state of the No D phase of this obverse die. There is of course an earlier die state of this obverse die where the D was still visible, which I have identified. That "Well Worn D" phase, which occurred before the obverse die was repolished and the mint mark completely obliterated, always comes paired with a well worn reverse die, so there is no chance of them being confused.
