1922 Weak D

No, there is too much D on your coin, Even on an XF example of a 1922 Weak D, the D is almost invisible.

On a coin in the condition yours is, F to VF, the D on a weak D is really hard to spot.

This is a normal 1922 D cent in VF or thereabouts.

Thanks,

This is a normal 1922 D and a dealer selling this as a weak D is doing the buyer a disservice. If you saw one like this sold as a weak D for a strong price then somebody got ripped.

Thats like saying...Its OK to put a 1909 S into the slot for a 1909 S VDB since in a whitman folder you cant see the reverse or see the VDB.

I don't rally care what they call it or what they sell it as. It simply is not a weak D coin. Any collector should have the sense to fill in the hole with the correct coin and not pay some over inflated amount for nothing.

The coin shown in this thread should fill the hole for a regular 1922 D cent. Your point that it can be a place filler for a 1922 weak D makes no sense to me.

I am truly sorry that I don't see your point.

The question at the beginning of the thread was...Is this a 1922 weak D. Its not...that's the answer.

I've seen 1922 NO D cents. I've seen 1922 weak D cents. I've even seen altered 1922 D cents where the D was removed.

7070. I hope you understand where I am coming from. I answered your question correctly.

Just Carl, you can spin it anyway you want. The answer is still that the coin shown here is not and never will be a weak D 1922.

Thanks,
Bill

I like to make a connection with the person asking the question so I thank you 7070 for adding that final post.

Every once in awhile, I get frustrated when I try to answer a question for someone and then I have to get into a debate over what I know was the correct response.

I generally like to have the discourse with the person who asked the question so that that person can get as good an answer to their question as I can give.

I am not always 100% right but in areas that I am very familiar with, I get darn close.

Folks here may notice that I never answer a VAM question. The reason....I don't have a clue from VAMS:-)

If I know the answer or can lead someone in the right direction, That's what I do. I make it a policy not to guess on something unless I tell someone that I am guessing right up front.

Thanks 7070 for your great question,

Bill

Nope...

Here is my hole filler for the 1922 no D.

They call it a Weak D, But I can't see one. The markers don't match for the #1-3.

Coop,

Keep in mind that if it does not match known dies, the coin could be a regular 1922 D with the mintmark intentionally removed. Then the coin is worked until the color matches again. You can rub the spot with your thumb and eventually, the color kinda blends back in. It could take six months to a year to retone but it does:-)

I'm not saying that yours has had the mintmark removed but the fact that it doesn't match known dies makes it a little suspect.
