  Yeah, it's one I found in a bag. It's so worn I can't really tell if the mm has been altered. What's your opinion? Thanks

You should let the cat out of the bag on where you get your bags...  ... JK

Super find! My grading skills are mediocre at best but I will venture a guess at G4.

Thanks for the link GR58 and Thad. I've taken a few more photos using my loupe. I'm not sure if it helps or hurts though. I do see the die-crack in the L, and the t, u, and t in TRUST are more bold.    Hope this helps a bit. I'll be at work, and I might not be able to respond to any questions until later in the afternoon PST. Thanks again.

These are very hard coins to grade, because the die's were so worn to start with.
I would be leaning toward the die #1
Over the years how die 1,3 and 4 have been looked at very differently. By LRC standards these 3 die's can fall between weak "D" to no "D" but all would have a weak reverse.
Die #2 should never have a trace of a "D" and will have a strong reverse.
A coin like this would sell better if it were slabbed.
It would also look good in the 1922 no D slot in my Dansco

I don't see any trace of the D. I'd send that to PCGS!

First off, my many thanks for all the replys so far. I decided to show this coin to a couple of different dealers today, and both of them told me that this coin would slab with a "weak d" title. I trust both of these people. Most times, it's good to have a different set of eyes to help you see. I took some more photos of the coin from a different angle. I didn't crop or resize the photos.    At this angle, I do see something. And I'm guessing that it's enough to get this coin to grade as a "weak d". A weak d coin in this condition is not worth grading imho. But it is worth filling the no-d hole in my Whitman. I'm chalking this one up to me, hoping to not see something that was still there. Thanks again folks, Scott

From these pictures I can see the slightest d. It'd probably be way easier to determine in hand, since these coins were so weakly struck.
