To me it looks like a 1928-D or like Meldude said, possibly a 1920. I changed some of the colors around on the picture, and I cant see a 1922.  Edited by Canadian-Banknotes

Please take an image of the entire obverse and reverse. It makes a difference.

The coin is so worn, I don't think pictures of the coin matter. It's extremely worn, down to what I'd call AG3 or FR2. Scratched in some areas, and also has a nice hole that doesn't seem to go through the coin.
Regardless, I'll post them in a bit.

In my opinion it's a 22 - take a look at the photos I've attached below. I opened it in Photoshop CS5 (I'm a photographer) and boosted the contrast, burned in the area of the date and then sharpened. Thoughts? Either way any 192x find in a roll is a great find!   |

I've seen a lot of 1922 d with a very weak 2 there.
I believe Mr. Daughtrey suspects the same and is looking
for some confirmation from the reverse.

I didn't have time to take pics of it last night between Fallout: New Vegas and putting together a list of crap I wanted to bid on at a big coin auction today. You'll get your pics tonight.
FWIW, most of the details and legend are mushy at best if present, lol. It's in rough shape.

Crappy pic I took with my phone last night and didn't delete;  Not much help, I know, but hey... not like it's costing me money. |

Now that you mention it, it does look like a 1928 D  |

It appears to be a 1922D cent to me, but I have to ask an honest question here...why does it matter? At best the coin grades FR02, which makes it a cull and pretty much numismatically worthless.

Copper, it's a bit of a goal to put together a Wheat set from circulation for me. '22-D would be one of the tougher ones to find out of the way.

Ahh...I get it. No need to explain further...and you are correct - this would be a big find in circulation.
I still think it's a 1922D, and my reason for that is because of the thickness of the 19 and how thin the 2 is. This really only happened in 1922. I cannot be certain, but what I am certain of is that any MORE images isn't really going to help. You've done the best you can revealing the digit that's pretty much not there to reveal.

Yes, that too is possible. One thing for sure is I have rulled out an O or CC Mint Mark. Think of this. You could put that coin in any one of the ones mentioned here and who could say your wrong. |
