coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/13/2022 12:59 pm These dies were way over polished, but they were not given more dies to fill the quote they needed to strike. So they made do with what they had. So matching the weak 'D's never happened. With 7 million of these struck, there probably were less than 10 different dies. The ones with the weak 'D', after the next polishing were probably one of the missing 'D's. Just a bad die event that happened that year, where they have to use what they had.

grospoisson Pillar of the Community United States 984 Posts	Posted 02/13/2022 6:39 pm Quote: Feel free to compare yours to mine It seems your L on liberty is not as close to the rim and My letters in trust are sharper. Your 22 numbers are is sharper than mine. I don't even know which 2 is considered the 2nd two The coat tail on mine from 4 to 5 seems to fit the description of Die # 4 from the Lincoln Cent source. Still don't know if that's a weak d or someone tried to remove it many years ago. I am sure it's not worth putting in a slab? Edited by grospoisson 02/13/2022 6:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
nss-52 Moderator United States 54280 Posts	Posted 02/13/2022 6:46 pm Not all "weak D" 1922 cents became "no D" cents, thus yours may not match any of the "no D" die pairs.
