As they said in "Planes, Trains and Automobiles"..."You're going the Wong Wei !" ABSOLUTE FAKE Those who have access to the Counterfeit Thread please take note and report!There was never a coin struck that deep in the 22's. The Obverse and reverse don't match any know die pair. The die cracks on the reverse are to mimic the Die of Pair #1 which has a "weak reverse die" as noted below. http://www.lincolncentresource.com/...rieties.htmlEdited by Crazyb0

This date is notorious for poor strikes, especially on the reverse. The OP's listing is EF-40 at best. Compare hair and ear detail:  Edited by Coinfrog

The uneven rim on the obverse gives it away. What caused this in the manufacturing process?
Lots of good information in this thread. Thanks!

The uneven rim is just a slightly misaligned die, it's extremely common on cents.
I'm not convinced this is fake

Back to the topic.... This coin is not an absolute fake, but instead is ABSOLUTELY GENUINE. For the record, this is the coin being discussed:  Quote:
There was never a coin struck that deep in the 22's. Respectfully, this is false. Here is a PCGS graded 1922-D Lincoln with the same three die cracks. It is the same obverse die also, with the slightly misaligned die. It looks pretty deeply struck to me.   There were more dies used in Denver in 1922 than the four worn pairs used to make no-D coins. Even those dies were originally pristine and probably struck tens of thousands of 1922-D with the mint mark before being overused. |

I'm a bit tired of hearing explanations of what was done back in 1922 when I suspect no one really knows. Kind of reminds me of a statement in a book called Looking Through Lincoln Cents about this coin where it is stated "because there is no official record of the error, as there is no official record of any error". |

Good thread! I have definitely learned something valuable from this. Thank you nss-52 for explaining!  Errers and Varietys.
