Those are in my book which is still being worked on by the publisher.

Where will print copies for purchase be available when they become available? It's a must have for the library of this Lincoln collector.
I actually found a 1922-D in the early '60s. It was a nice XF found in a roll from the bank. 1922-D is the lowest mintage Lincoln cent by year of all years Lincoln cents were produced, 1909 to present.

I assume that it will be available wherever Whitman and Greysheet publications are sold, and the usual online sources.

The first Lincoln that I found when I started searching circulated coins in 1965 was a 1922 no D die pair 2, although at the time I just recognized it as a no D, at least I hoped. I had it authenticated and graded by ANACS a couple of years ago, came back F15. I sold it and ended up finding a nice XF45, but it was the coin that got me into collecting 60 years ago this summer.

Read the CW articles. There does not appear to be anything in it that would have made the book had I seen it a year ago.

I look forward to its release, perhaps you will do one of the podcasts that Whitman puts on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/@greysheet-redbook
I saw Fred on it recently and it is a good watch, I'd love to see you on discussing it with the guys.

Well, it is my understanding that the Mint used to buy die stock rods in different diameters, with the smaller diameter rods being used for smaller diameter dies and the midsize rods being used for midsized dies, etc. Thus the cent and dollar dies would have been prepared from different batches of die steel.
I do have some interesting and possibly relevant data on die life from cents of other years that will be presented in the article.
Tom, Attached is an except concerning die steel from my article on the polishing of restrike half cent dies. The late 1890 to the 1940s, saw incredible experimentation and development in the steel industry. Many of these steels required far different annealing and heat-treating processes than previous steels. It may well be the mint was experimenting. Just a possibility, but there may be some records.

Does anyone have a reference as to all the new die varieties now being listed on Greysheet?
Is the book out for sale yet?
Those are in my book which is still being worked on by the publisher.

If you haven't already seen. Looks like an in-depth, multi-page, comprehensive analysis of the 1922 cent, in the 7 July 25 edition of Coin World.
Acquired this a few months ago.
