Appears legit, but curious nonetheless.

Mine should be held apart from the opinions of the numismatists above. Mine is eligible just as a general opinion of tooling on metal. That mint mark looks harshly tooled to my eyes.

Interesting find. It is damaged, intentional or not.

IMO someone was trying to create a 1922 Plain cent.
Things just don't look right.

Maybe it was a misguided attempt to hammer down the D, and when he realized that wouldn't work, he quit. I guess we'll never really know...

How many projects have I abandoned because the project played out as a bad idea in process? How many of my abandoned projects refuse to leave the earth?

Maybe it's not album worthy but I've got a Harris 1909-40 folder that I put overflow coins into that it would have a home in. This is my circulated, no coins will be turned away portion of my collection - although if you don't make the folder, you end up in a roll. |

The reason or mechanism doesn't matter, it's been damaged and it's just a regular 22D.

Sort of reminds me of the 42D cents I erased part of the 4 back when I was a kid.
