Seeking opinions on Newp: Lincoln 1922 No D die 3

I just got in the mail today my newp from Ebay. It meets all the criteria for a die 3; L of Liberty butted up against the rim, Second 2 weaker than the first, "Trust" sharper than "In God We", reverse slightly rotated counter clockwise, bottom portion of the O of "One" smooshed out. My only concern is the area where the mint mark would be. Some times after looking at it for too long, you imagine that you see something there, I'm just not sure. I got a pretty good deal on it if its real. I do have a return policy on it should I not feel that it's legit. What do you think??? Thanks for looking.

    Weak D? I don't see any D at all. Here are some pics of my No D (I'll be sending it in for verification soon).

    That is a no D weak reverse Die Pair 3. PCGS will certify it as such as long as there is no sign of a D. SEGS will certify it as such, too. ANACS certifies that and Die Pair 1 as weak D.

    I see a shadow of a D in your pic but I may be seeing things that aren't there.

    No comment really, just a question. How does a Lincoln cent collector distinguish betweed a "no D" Denver mint cent and a Philadelphia mint cent for the year 1922?

    There were no cents issued at the Philly mint in 1922.

    The OP's example is definitely a die #3 no D.

    I figured that that would have been the case.

    That's why the 22 no D is such a big deal. If Philly had coined cents that year, the No D would've been a minor curiousity.

    Actually, a no D cent would have just been assumed to be a Phila issue.

    Probably initially, but I'm sure that numismatists would've figured out the die characteristics that would differentiate a Philly struck 22 from a Denver struck no D.
