EDM Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 01/08/2022 9:59 pm A recent aquisition 1922 "weak D" LWC. Highly worn coin or late stage die set, or both? Grade? Edited by EDM 01/08/2022 10:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 01/08/2022 10:09 pm A decent amount of wear, but also a late die state. Some XF/AU coins can look VG because of the die state. This one exhibits evidence of wear. Nice coin! Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19935 Posts	Posted 01/09/2022 01:11 am This coin appears to have been buried. Surface pitting is obvious. It was probably found in the dirt, cleaned and it gradually retoned long ago. The odd red color is also an indicator. IMO, this is not a weak D, just a highly worn and previously corroded coin.

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2953 Posts	Posted 01/09/2022 06:52 am Yeah, the 22-D Lincoln is a strange one alright, especially the weakly struck ones. It is one of my favorite of the Lincoln's to collect, as I have like 12 different ones. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19126 Posts	Posted 01/09/2022 08:15 am I agree with EvilThad. I have (or had) a similar '22 D which exhibited a fine pitted look, worn soft over years of circulation. Report this Post to the Staff
jpsned Pillar of the Community United States 2200 Posts	Posted 01/09/2022 12:45 pm The 1922 LWC is one of my favorite coins as well, whether it's a 22-D, a weak D or a no D. To have a Denver coin appear to have been manufactured in Philadelphia has always fascinated me! Edited by jpsned 01/09/2022 12:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff

The odd red color is also an indicator. The camera I use is a Coolpix AW110 (bright orange) and it casts an orange color reflection in my closeups. In hand this coin appears as the typical brown. I usually adjust the color but in this case I forgot. Edited by EDM 01/09/2022 1:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff

EDM Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 01/14/2022 5:50 pm By the way, this is my very first purchase of a Lincoln Wheat cent and I only have two remaining vacancies, the 1909S and the 1909S VDB. All the others I collected from circulation dating back to when I was a kid in 1966. Edited by EDM 01/14/2022 5:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/14/2022 6:08 pm That's quite an accomplishment! Can you show us some of your better finds? Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5662 Posts	Posted 01/14/2022 6:29 pm The D seems a tad strong for a weak D, but very close. That's a seriously great accomplishment over the past 50 years. Unlikely you'll find the two remaining in circulation at this point, but it's amazing that you found the 14-D and all the semi-keys from circulation. Report this Post to the Staff
EDM Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 01/15/2022 11:36 am I was working at a restaurant in 1974 and the boss let me go through all the coins. He'd even call me at home if he found something cool. I think there must have been a customer who was raiding a coin collection. We would regularly get old stuff; rolls of Buffalo nickels and Mercury dimes, a few Standing Liberty quarters, even a couple of Morgan dollars. I'd also cash my paycheck at the bank in coins, pulling all the old stuff. Oldest was an 1865 IHC, also a couple Seated Liberty dimes. Filled out my Jefferson and Roosevelt series this way too. Then I went to college and forgot about it all until I cashed in the silver in 1979. And then never looked at it again until 3 years ago (busy with work and raising kids) when I noticed a 2019W quarter in change. Edited by EDM 01/15/2022 11:48 am Report this Post to the Staff
