A bit off topic, but the "search first" thing bothers me a bit. It's not so bad here, but I've seen on other forums, newbies getting raked over the coals for it. Personally I don't mind rehashing the same subject as sometimes it allows for new insight. Just my opinion.
My opinion of the no D stays the same. No one collects 1924 weak Ds although there are probably plenty out there. The market only exists because thee are 1920 no Ds.

I am not good at saying things like that ... I know online things can come out negative. Book marking the site .. Lincoln resource center is a good thing .. I look at it often. Also a site like this, it is good to get opinions .. but it is also good to learn how to look things up for yourself and learn as much as you can about the coins you collect. Opinions are not always right .. including mine. Seeing your reverse, I do not see die markers that would make me think yours is a 1922 weak D. Of course it is hard seeing them from a picture. The "O" on "ONE" looks normal and I can not see a die crack. There are three different die sets that can make a weak D, each with different die markers ... is there a slight die rotation? Please forgive my ignorance of not researching the daylights out of it before asking a question.I guess I could take this as a negative response .. or not .. but to me doing a couple simple searches would not qualify as researching the daylights out of it.

If a collector does some research on their own .. maybe they will retain and comprehend the information better. Also what will happen is the experts may not respond to the same question over and over .. unless they see a incorrect reponse or see a collector has put some effort into it .. and needs help .. but then .. that is just my opinion ..

I looked on that website and can plainly see it is not a 22 weak d . I opigize for being snippy. I was at a coin show today and was treated rather unfairly by some ppl when all I was looking for was information. Needless to say they didn't get any of the $600 I spent today.

No worries from my perspective Luvpennys ... there are many of us who continue to address the same questions as newer members come on board. Sure ... it's always best to do whatever research you are capable of ... and in that regard the CCF members gladly share links to professional sites such as you were given for this coin. You will not believe how many times the CCF has answered the call for determination of a 1970-S small date LMC.  Feel free to ask away. David

Luvpennys I understand ... sorry you were treated badly at the coin show .. I hope you did find some coins you needed.
I hope you liked the web site .. for me it is a very good site for looking up 70 small date S, 1922 no D and other varieties.
For me the more information you have will help you, when dealing with sellers. I have been to coin shows where the sellers did not really know what 1922 they had.

I did, thank you. That website is already bookmarked. I read about the 22 no d enough to figure out it wasn't even close. I found most of what I was looking for. Mostly modern stuff. Ill read it front to back when I'm sitting waiting to get unloaded some night. Thank you again and sorry for the nub mistake.

 So is this a 1970 small date? Okay, okay, just kidding. To me, it's one thing to prod for specific detailed info on something that could be researched independently, but another thing entirely to ask a simple opinion on something like a photo of a coin. I think this is a strength of a group like this, to have the ability to get several experienced opinions on something someone may not be comfortable with or have a lot of confidence in. And if it is something that's asked a bunch of times, so what? It must be a common issue then.

Looks like PMD. I too agree those quick to jump on the "Use the search feature" ruin the fun and run off new members. I too plan on leaving all of the overdate, fake mint errors, 3 1/2 stumpy leg holes open in my albums or filled with the regular version of the same year.

Looking back at this post I see some members mentioned that asking a member to do a search on the topic as negative.
I disagree.
It is not like I said .. to go search before posting... with out any other information. My point of view is .. he is a older person .. mentioned he has a wife. I did not just say it is not a 1922 no D ... I have seen that posted many times.
I think I asked nice ( I said please) to search online for a site Lincoln resource center.
Then gave my opinion, that I did not think it was a 22 no D.
I think in this case the member did find the site .. made the determination on what coin he has.
So now he has a good site and I feel he is be more knowledgeable about this subject.
As I mentioned before, having memebers learn about doing some research is something we should be doing ... in addition to giving opinions.
I have quite a few sites .. and books I turn to .. not just CCF ..
and that is not to say anything negative about CCF .. just saying there is more

Not a weak D. I suggest you spend some time looking at images of these on ha.com. Membership is free.

Not a weak D at all. Oddly enough though, at many coin shows and coin stores, I see coins that are labled as weak D, no D, etc. And there appears there are as many ideas of what a weak D is as there are dealers selling them. They seam to go from almost full D to slightly weaker and weaker until almost gone. All depends on who is selling and who wants what.

Quote: Please forgive my ignorance of not researching the daylights out of it before asking a question. No need to apologize, ever. This is a place to ask questions. Everyone comes here with their own level of experience, with coins and online forums. We should never assume that everyone knows how to do everything.  Just my thoughts, not a condemnation towards anyone... The OP was asking for an opinion on this specific coin. I read it as a question, not one that asks what a 1922-D "Weak D" is, but whether or not this coin qualifies. There was no way to know at first, but maybe they already did some research, formed their own opinion, and wanted to see what the community though about it. If this were the case, a search would have not done any good.
