Thad, are you sure about that? That doesn't look like the same coin to me. On the earlier coin, LIBERTY and IGWT look to me for the most part like they're obliterated, while on this one they look to me like they're miles stronger. Have you got a few of these? Maybe you got the slabs switched?

Wow! Yeah, that's the same coin - just different angles. Pretty neat!

Naw I didn't mean that, Thad. It just looks like a different coin to me and so I thought you might have made a mistake. I thought I remember you said you had a few of these. Oh well...

Maxie, welcome! I can see you mastered the fine art of posting pictures, here. I'm having trouble mak8ng out the date, a little, though, do you see that as a 1920-D? At any rate, I think it might have been acid-dipped, just judging from the look on that surface. Still, it's a keeper. Hey, we take them as we find them.  |

Thank you very much. The appearance is just the sunlight. In hand it is very normal looking and the date is plain: 1922D. I have trouble photographing dull coins without the proper light diffusers. Daylight works best but I suppose I should stay out of the sun. Here is one in the shade.   Maxie javascript:insertsmilie('  ') |

I'm dragging this thread up again because I don't believe that I asked the right question earlier. So here's a better one: Is there any chance that other dates have been identified also as "weak D" or even "missing D" as opposed to no mintmark? Should I be examining my no-mint-mark wheaties under a glass? The logistics of examining just one date's output of alleged Philadelphia mint cents (like 1919) and finding identifying marks, like known die cracks and near and far letters, boggle my mind, but still ...
