Thanks, received the coin and in hand it is a really nice one. Looked at my other 22 D's with normal D in VF-XF grade and their all showing signs of die wear this one looks like its early die state. Eye appeal...forgot to consider that its easy for me to grade mechanically and miss the big picture. Thankfully the smear on the bust is not as pronounced in hand as the photo suggests there is even still some dark cherry toning from 12 -4 o'clock along the rim. Nice to get a good one at auction. This one went book but I am intranced by 1922 D series cents. The 24 D has the same affect on me. Its getting bad LOL.
