This seems to have all the basic markers for Die Pair #2 - worn/missing front of coat, stronger second 2 in date, sharp reverse (including some wheat detail) despite extensive wear. I'll venture it's genuine.

I vote legitimate. Usually, Chinese counterfeits will be in better condition.

Thank you for replying and your comments. My mom revently passed, was a collector/coin hoarder for 60yrs. Asked me to go though her coins for my dads benefit. She taught me when I was a child and I'm reducating myself to do so, She'd be smiling..., thanks again.

Looks like a genuine 22 plain to me also , but obverse might grade FR-02 . Wait for edwheather ,he knows a lot about these .  |

I'm so glad you found a real goodie. Meets all the needs of a legitimate 22 no D. Congratulations.
I'd vote for NGC or PCGS. But wait until you have a number of coins to send at one time and it's cheaper per coin.

Thank you very much. Keeps me connected to my Mom. Could I ask your thoughts on the grading options. I've not had any coin slabbed yet but have saved a few in order to do so. It seems to PCGS obtains higher valuations upon resale on standard coins but that NGC maybe more commonly used for varieties. Do any of you have suggestions in this case?

For this one, I'd recommend PCGS. Just my opinion.

Pick either of the top 2, but go for it!  |

I would recommend ANACS to grade this error coin.
The expense of the other two grading services will not make this coin worth any more at this grade level.
Anybody can submit to ANACS as well - do not have to be a club member.
No grading special occurring at the moment, but check their website.
tryingmybest - take your time in your research. Rely on the members of this site for ANY info, questions, and guidance - several have walked in the same shoes as you - sorry to see the passing of your mom.
