I'd like to bid on this, but the obverse has one big problem, and that's no (or an extremely weak) outside 2, which is supposed to be the strong 2. The strong LIBERTY is a big positive. The reverse is strong, but unusually weak at the top. I'm beginning to question whether it's even a 1922.

Way up there at the top of faked, counterfeited, doctored up coins. So many have the D erased by kids, coin dealers, just people, etc. Some do it for fun, some to make a profit. Many other types of fakes are made also and some are actually just made from blanks. Along with the 09S VDB, 14D, I would place the 22 plain right there with the massive fakes. Very possibly more around today than were ever made. If not authenticated by a TPGS, I'd just pass on stuff like that.

How do they even call it a 1922, never mind a no d? Looks to me that there are strong signs that there was a D on this coin that was removed so either way this coin has too many strikes against it. I am amazed people will bid that high on a coin that has about a 1% chance of being authentic

I bought a couple of nice raw ones, but they were no-brainers. This one definitely isn't. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Way too many risk factors here. I'm not an independently wealthy gambler.

Images don't show the L in liberty, should be tight against the rim. As you said, second 2 should be stronger than the first. In God We should be much weaker. Reverse does not look strong.
Why not complete straight-on photos? Because this is not the real deal.
