Die pair #2, the one worth all the money, has a strong reverse and no hint of a "d".
My point is the reverse plays a major part in determining the die pair.

Only the one with the die 2 rev is called a No D. Dies 1, 3, and 4 are Weak D even if there is no trace of the D visible.

I agree. For the record, I fully intend to put an inexpensive and worn out "weak D" in the 1922-D "Plain" hole in my Dansco album.  |

None of this really matters if you just want to fill that silly hole in an Album. Regardless of no D or weak D, unless your planning on selling it, makes little difference. If you can not see the D yourself, just put it in the empty spot in your Album and forget it all. I've got them in seveal Albums and if no D or weak D, as long as I'm not selling them, makes no difference to me.  I just wish Album manufacturers would stop putting that slot in the Albums for an error coin. Edited by just carl

The 22d is an odd coin, I hate how Dansco includes that in their album, it makes no sense. If you look up the Lincoln Cent Resource they have a great article on how to determine which 22d you have, and the die pairs. Has pictures and everything for those of us who like the visual more than the words. |

Beside all the points/discussion have been posted regarding weak/no D, I see another aspect that the OP put up: The value of week D vs no D.
I'm no fan of the weak/no D thing and will probably, like others, put a weak D into the no D slot just to fill it up. If the OP is similar to me and other on our weak/no D approach then he's had scored a great (despite unintended) purchase, if his coin turn out to be "no D" (very unlikely, as other expert have mentioned).

NGC and PCGS certify the 1-3-4 die pairs as "no D". Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

Best way to solve this problem is just spend the $15 or so dollars and just have it graded.

I have considered everything from the mint set token to the blank planchet. I think anything other than a Weak-D/No-D would just bother me too much.  |

I hate, Hate, HATE, H A T E Dansco for putting that hole into the album!
It has been a plague to we cent collectors for over 50 years.
But if I were playing the game, I would choose a blank planchet: no "D", no date, no portrait, no cents and no nothing!
Take THAT, Dansco!
