I wouldn't think so, especially in that damaged condition.  to the CCF! |

to Community. It is up to you to send it in but, there is nothing significant about this coin to qualify it for that, if not a damage it looks like a struck thru filled die at best for missing the last digit. |

Not entirely for sure what you mean by fake. But this is a stuck through grease, and has a lot of wear.

Check the weight first. If it is 3.11g, then it is normal weight. Looks like a 1922, but check to see if any of the known examples have die scratches like the reverse pattern. Look for slabbed examples to see if any match your coin. If none matches, then consider if the coin was altered. Check PCGS to see what estimates they give for graded examples. That will help you see if it is worth grading. (Possibly cost as much as $50) if graded examples are less than that, then you won't want to have it graded. As chech Hertagecoins.com and see if any are listed there. (There is a previous auction section that will also show prices and other examples for matching the die scratches.) look before you leap. To me having a graded coin means that I wouldn't pay extra for the grading. So why spend more than the coin is worth to make the coin child proof. ( slabs easily scratch) |

It can't be attributed since the date is unknown, but it's definitely not a 22.

Strong likelihood of a strike through grease (obverse), a fair amount of wear overall, scratches on the reverse, and a probable cleaning somewhere in its past.

Sorry I was not clear as to what I thought I saw, I jut wanted to know if anybody else sees the last 2 in 1922, nor do I see any sign of a D, and with the wire brush job on the reverse I don't see how to look for markers. I understand the grade is poor, I just thought attribution was different than grading.

Thanks to all for your thoughts, I think I'll just stick it in the 1922 no D spot in my book!

Hm, I would use a USB scope and see if any more of the date is visible. Not sure it's worth sending in. It would probably be hard to get the 1922 plain attribution in that condition with how commonly forged it is by deliberately wearing away the mintmark, which only becomes harder and harder to identify in this condition.

If you thought it was a fake, why then would you want it graded? Maybe to verify it's a counterfeit or not? I'm confused. As others have stated, you have a partially filled grease die obscuring the last digit of the date. Is it a 1922? Who knows. I'd venture to say there isn't much value found here, but only my opinion. to the CCF! |

It is NOT a 1922 "plain". There are other diagnostic features for the one they will slab as the No D and this coin doesn't have them.
