1922-D Lincoln Cent

Im sorry about the picture ,,it was taken with my old camera ,,Im so far behind not only in photographing my new coins ,,but also re taking the other ones .

the wheat heads are basically flat very little detail.

Gbchaosmaster,

Please sell me all of your G-4 coins.

I might knock this one down to VF-20 after Metalman explained that the wheat stalks were flat but I would venture to guess that this one will clock a hair over G-4. Just my opinion.

Dang, too bad about the rim damage as that's a very well-struck obverse 22D. The second 2 and the mintmark are exceptionally nice for this date. Good, uncleaned original color too, I like it. Hard to tell much from the pics, but the U in United is weak, indicating the reverse strike is a bit weak or the reverse die was more worn than the obverse. I suspect a worn reverse die because the obverse strike is so nice. If that's the case, the reverse die weakness could be mistaken for wear. I'd give it between an F15 and VF25. With no wheatlines, wear or not, it's not going to make EF IMO.

I'm at 20/25, Rick, Great raw coin in spite of the rim ding. Looking at the strength of the strike on the reverse from top to bottom, I wonder if a lot of the weakness is not from the strike and the position of the coin. The top of the strike is much stronger than the bottom. If that is the case, I would move it into the 30s.

Jim and 1sikevo, I was netgrading the huge dent in the rim. It'd be a F15 otherwise. Still, it wouldn't even come close to making a slab.
