Lincoln Cent Folks, Looking For Guidance On These Three

So,quick back story is that I picked up a decent collection over the weekend, A lot of circ 90% stuff in old Whitman folders. There was some stink to them as they have been stored for years.
In one of the Lincoln folders there was a 1914-D... looked good. As I was sorting thru other misc bags of coins tonight, I happened to run across another. I believe both to be genuine but you are the expert here!
Haven't looked at every cent but every now and again if I saw something a little more worn I would grab the loupe and check the date. It appears to be a 1922 but I can't see any D at all. 
I have tried to get decent pics but I understand if you can't tell by what I provide. Just hoping for the best on that one!
Thanks!

Sorry, not sure why those didn't come out in order. I questioned the placement of he D on that 2nd 1914-D.
Is there a VDB on the shoulder of the 1914 - D? The 1922 looks ok to me, but I'm not an expert.

I think I see a "D" on the 1922. Damaged by circulation but still there.
For the 1914-D cents, as pcgsregistrycollecter writes, look under the shoulder for a VDB. Real 14-Ds won't have it since the initials don't appear in that location until 1918.
that's not a D
It looks like a D with a scratch through it, to me.
No, neither of the 1914's have the vdb. While neither are in great shape, was still happy to find them!
1922 d or no d @CaptHenway ?
Would be very helpful to see the entire obverse of the 1922, as there are markers to look for. I am of the opinion that it is not the No D variety, as another reply mentioned it looks like there are traces of the mintmark visible through the heavy circulation.
The 1914-D cents both look good to my eyes, neither are altered 1944-D cents. Again it would be helpful to have full obverse photos to better determine the mintmark style and location, but I think you have a couple of winners there.

Hard to tell from those pictures but the 1922 looks like somebody tried to remove the mint mark.
Also have what I believe to be a 22 weak D ...strong reverse maybe??
I would be skeptical. The pictures are hard to tell though. Maybe post a close-up of the date and mint mark combo?

On the possible weak D?

Most likely IMHO.

you'd need to post close-ups of the date-mm that aren't as close as those. not nearly so
i'm still in #1 no D, #2 D
