1922 Lincoln Wheat Cent No D Or Weak D?

BadThad - I have way understudied them for someone considered a Lincoln Cent 'expert' - I've just never taken the time to bother with them. One of those "if you ignore it, it might go away" scenarios.

If you do a comprehensive study into them, J.P. Martin might be a good person to add to your knowledge and study. When you get the study done, I would like to see it and consider it for publication.

One thing I know J.P. has seen and can attest to is a die #2 strong reverse coin with remnants of a mintmark. It had previously been believed by many that this die never had a mintmark.

Thanks Chuck, I appreciate it. I've sent you a PM.

Wow....I didn't notice that at all! You're absolutely correct. I just looked at this coin in hand again, you can see metal moved up on the 9 too. I looks like a punch was used on it by someone trying to forge a no "D". Let me tell you, in hand this looks nearly perfect, it's toned nicely brown and the color is even over the MM area. Using a 10x loupe, at only one angle, you can see a slight depression. It's very hard to see!

Lincoln education never ceases! Thanks for looking at it!

No...you chime in anytime friend!
