Skippy Topaz Valued Member United States 256 Posts	Posted 04/12/2026 10:55 am Recently dug my childhood penny collection out of storage and been thinking about filling in the few missing key dates and my 1922-D penny looks like it might be one of the weak strike varieties or does it look like it's just worn down because of the well-circulated condition ?- Thx :) Edited by Skippy Topaz 04/12/2026 10:56 am Report this Post to the Staff

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5687 Posts	Posted 04/12/2026 12:06 pm The reverse is somewhat weak, but IGWT is very sharp, and the D is stronger than you would expect for a "weak D". So I'm leaning towards a regular 22-D, although perhaps the early stages of grease build up in the mintmark. Report this Post to the Staff
Skippy Topaz Valued Member United States 256 Posts	Posted 04/12/2026 1:06 pm Thanks for taking the time to reply :) I only just noticed it as I was looking at my Wheat Pennies album for the first time in years and thought I'd try and fill in the missing key dates, 1909-S VDB, 1909-S, 1914-D and 1931-S.. I don't count the 1922 No-Date because that one's out of my price range None of them are in great shape as I collected them all when I was a kid by looking through my parents change every day and really just wanted to make a notation in the album somewhere in case it was a Weak-D so when the kids or grand kids decide to get rid of it, they'd know what it was.. Thanks again ! Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 98746 Posts	Posted 04/12/2026 9:40 pm I agree, the MM is a bit too prominent to be a weak D. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7520 Posts	Posted 04/13/2026 09:55 am A 1922-D "Weak D" cent is qualified by a barely visible, "ghosted" Denver mint mark resulting from a worn die or over-polishing, accompanied by overall weak strike details. Specifically,it features a weak terminal "2" in the date, a mushy "O" in "ONE" on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
