Going through some rolls my father had. Saw this, but to me it looks like the mark has been removed. Any opinion appreciated. Ok, working on better pics. Please let me know if better or still need to work on it. The dark area below Lincoln is just shadow. thanks   Edited by clanmalkav

Sorry, these pics are too small and difficult to judge from because they're not oriented correctly. Please re-post one coin at a time, front and back.  to the CCF! |

You have a few nice looking 22D's! As Coinfrog stated, you should get correctly orientated, close up photos of the obverse and reverse of each coin. From those pictures, I can tell that at least the one has a shot at a weak D, but no telling for sure! |

to the CCF. I have no clue about the multiple photos you have posted ... which is the coin in question.  We are here to help ... the best way we can help is for you to show clear, well cropped in-focus photos of both the obverse and reverse of the coin you are asking about. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

I'm with the rest, better photos will help us help you. But it looks promising so far. Taking your photos and playing with them as they are, I'm even more encouraged. Set up a little camera stand with a couple heavy books that will help you establish a good focal length for your phone's camera. Try to minimize the background and fill the viewer/screen on your phone with the coin (front and back). Be careful not to over saturate your photo area with direct light. Diffused light is much better. While holding the phone firmly against the books to stabilize the camera and minimize vibration, take your pics. And if you can, take closer shots of the date areas of your coin. They needn't be super close shots; just fill the screen to the extent that you don't get out of focus. And regarding your background, use a neutral but solid color. For cents that are brown, an lighter color will help with the contrast. Good luck! |

I hope you come back and post better sharp pictures of individual coins. I see a very interesting assortment of possibly altered dates. For example, the second 2 on this one.  |

Wow .. this thread clearly shows the challenges of trying to support a new member inquiry. The original post (now edited) showed a mish-mash of LWC coin photos ... confusing to me which was the coin in question ... hence my original reply. Now the OP has come back and edited the original post ... and I'm hopeful that our CCF experts can provide some educated input based on the new (sideways) photos. |

That's a much better pic. Folks here will be able to give you the authentication...but it looks like a weak D. Date is still sharp an the MM looks like a soft blob. It may be too soft...i.e., it was made weak. But the pros here should be able to let you know.

That looks like abrasion on the LWC in the first post of this thread. It looks like the D was sanded/ground/rubbed off, to create a fake 1922 no D. |
