Digging through some old coins I have and my wife found this.   Does this qualify? *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***

I personally deny the existence of the 1922 no D as an issued coin. The hole in my album will always remain empty. Looks less strong as a strong D would.

I looked at a couple today at a coin show and they really looked like there was never a mint mark there. That being said, I'm not much interested in collecting error coins either. If its free its for me!

In the past we have gone in to a lot of explanation on how to identify a 1922 no/weak D.
Of course new people come to the site, so the same questions will keep coming up.
Please try doing a online search for Lincoln 1922 no D Look for a site "Lincoln resource center"
That site has a good explanation on how to identify this variety
My opinion is that your coin is not a weak D variety .. but then you did not post a obverse picture
Seeing the obverse is just as important as the reverse for this coin.
Also you can do a search on this site, read some past links for this coin.

Is this the " obverse " your looking for?  Please forgive my ignorance of not researching the daylights out of it before asking a question.

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.

Quote: but the "search first" thing bothers me a bit. Two sides of every coins .. for me .. learning to do research is just as important as collecting coins. 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.
