Even with the video, it's hard to tell if the surfaces are a problem with the graininess and possible hairlines on the reverse. Probably best to photograph outside the 2x2. Tough to grade the 22 weak D's, but it looks in the AU range. Probably a die pair #1.

i think the vid shows the coin the best but its a little small.
the 22P's are a different bird to grade. in order to grade it you need to be well versed in these. in order to see the coin better it really should be out of the holder as it can alter what we are seeing and watch the lighting. due to this I'm not 100% certain that the surfaces are original.

Surfaces questionable, I would expect this to be fully brown.

Not a NO D, questionable to even be a WEAK D. More like a "Screwed With 1922 - D".  Edited by Marv65

It's unquestionably a weak D. Look at the liberty and 1922. There is no doubt in my mind that it's a weak D, die pair 1. I agree with others on it possibly being details grade.

When does typical wear end and a weak D begin? Or vice-versa. Especially on that cent. Obviously the coin was cleaned with something - and if it was a X-fine wire wheel it could make the details mushy.
Now if the cent was an untouched brown example I would agree on the weak D.

Agree it's a weak D. The weakness of the wheat stalks on the reverse, and the mushiness in IGWT are consistent with a 22-weak D.

Well that's why I like to question - brings information to the forefront that the OP would never had been available too.
Thank you @joeturbo26 and @Zurie!
