Re: 1922-D Lincoln Cent variations - Share your 1922 Lincoln pics
I have two 1922-D cents. On this circulated coin, the 1 and 9 in the date are much bolder than the 2's. This one's a PCGS MS64RD in an OGH, purchased in Teletrade auction #322 on May 22, 1991 for $139.75. Those were the days! There's a small dark spot below the E in E Pluribus Unum, but it's still a great coin. -

This is actually one of my new DeLorey Varieties, Die Pair #Zero. It has the jogging die crack reverse later used on Die Pair #1, which is why I called it Die Pair #Zero to put it before Die Pair #1, and an obverse die amazingly similar to Die Pair #1, which is why nobody noticed that they were two different dies for 50+… -

Did you mean DP#1 that's identified by the die crack? -

Picked this one up recently on eBay, this is the weak D die pair 1. I also have a die pair 2 with a straight clip that I have shared here many times before. Sean Reynolds -

A few more I have accumulated: DP #1, PCGS VF35: DP #3: DC-3A.2: DC-2: I have the DC-4 in NGC MS63 waiting for PCGS to crossover and TV. I will update with pic later. It helps to have @CaptHenway 's book, "The Enigmatic Lincoln Cents of 1922". -

As mentioned in the book, die erosion tends to be strongest a certain distance in from the rim, expanding the 9 and the R of LIBERTY. -

I've told this story before, but in the mid 1990s my company used a design firm on West 57th St in New York, not far from the Stacks storefront. One afternoon after a meeting I popped in and mentioned I was a Lincoln cent collector. The clerk then showed me a magnificent group of Wayte Raymond boards containing complete… -

They did make many fine coins that year. In my opinion that is why so many of the really well-worn die strikes are rare in high grade, because o collector of the 1920's would have kept a coin like this in their collection rather than one of the real horrible strikes from rotten dies. You know, the coins I love!
