The first one looks like a no D weak reverse, possibly die 3, and the second one has a weak D, and weak reverse. How does the first one look in-hand? Any trace of a D?

I cannot see any trace in hand, its hard enough to see the second 2 in sunlight. My eyesight is not the best anymore either.

I don't see a D in the first one...and I think the reverse looks pretty strong, so that could be a big money coin... I see a D on the second. just my 1 cent...  |

Funny, I see your point about the reverse on the first one...does look fairly strong. What steers me away from it being a die #2 is that the outside 2 near the ob rim is usually stronger/sharper than the inside 2. It looks to be significantly weaker. It's hard to argue with the reverse though. That's why PCGS attributes STRONG REVERSE. I'd take a shot and get it graded.

So you guys see a second 2 there? My concern was that it was even a 22.

The second picture looks like it could very well be a 22-d

So tough to determine for sure off these well worn examples. I have 1923's that look a lot like these.

Both are 22D's. The first one may be one of the "other" no D die pairs.

 Both are Lincoln Cents. Both are 1922's Both should be D mint Either one is worth quite a lot but in that condition, nothing fantastic. The value on these would be purely depending on the person that wants to purchse them. |

For those contributors who speak in such certain terms that both are 1922. Can you please use this as a teaching moment to us all, and show us as to how you are so certain? Just saying "yes they are both 1922" doesn't teach the rest of us much on how to recognise them on our own. Thanks in advance

Thanks everyone, I wanted to confirm I did see them right. I will put the top one in that 22 plain hole in my album even if its not a plain, and the other into my 22-D tube.

I'd send the top coin to ANACS and let them sweat it out. It looks like a DP4 no-D, it has a shot.
