Yes, absolutely. Description states: "1922 NO D LINCOLN WHEAT PENNY SMALL CENT 1C ICG GOOD G
DETAILS: STRONG REVERSE & SCRATCHED"
The images are perfectly clear it's details as well.
All info from holder listed, I would say yes. If you disagree with the holder, that would be a different issue. JMO

I consider myself to be the (current) world authority on 1922 Cents, and from those pictures I can't even be sure that the date is 1922.
THe reverse is not the Strong Reverse.

The reverse is weak. Even in that grade the wheat ears should have more detail. And, like the OP, I can't discern the grade either.

For me I'll pass. I'm not comfortable with what I'm seeing, just me saying
Thanks. That's why I asked.

What is stated on the label isn't always correct.

That's not an issue of if the coin is accurately described. That's an ICG issue. The seller is doing absolutely nothing wrong here IMO.
I think of it this way - if the seller can disagree with ICG here, is it ok for other sellers to disagree when PCGS calls their normal 1922-D cent normal, and then lists it as a top pop no D cent?
Did not look like it to me either. Looks like ICG messed up here.
My first reaction to the obverse image is "1923".
Al, correctly copying the seriously wrong description of a coin is not accurately describing it.
I'm afraid we might have to agree to disagree in this context.
For the rest of us though, would you mind posting what makes you think it's incorrectly graded?
I challenge the “1922 No D” description.
Right, I get that. I was more wondering what on the coin led you to that conclusion.
I literally cannot tell if that date reads 1922 or 1923. Back when I was grading this was an automatic “No Decision.”
And, FWIW, the left rim resembles no known 1922 “No D.”
This is a G-4 reverse according to PCGS

@CaptHenway, any updates on your new book on the 1922 cents?
Thanks!
Right or wrong, PCGS along with the other services grade the 1922 Weak D and the 1922 No mintmark a bit more loosely than the other dated Lincoln cents of the era.

The publishers have anything. I hope they are doing layout.
I'll betcha it is a 1923. It sure looks like it from the shape of the last numeral.

You can’t a 1922 Plain with the standards used for a 1929 cent. The 1922 Plain was produced with die that had two feet in a grave. The coin was “struck in VF.” A Good not lot look like much.
Having said that, this coin would be a hard pass for me if I saw in person. Given the poor quality of the Internet pictures, it’s an ever harder pass on-line.
Comparison of this coin to 1923. Not sure it is a three (not saying its a no D either...)
