This one I am on the fence on if it is a weak D, it is for sure a worn D  ... As to grade, these 22-Ds are a bit harder to grade than some other issues. Weak strikes are common to this particular date. I call a high AU-55 or thereabouts on your coin there.  |

Loving that grade.. Was debating on the weak d because of light the date was as well. So hard learning about all the diff standards on diff types!

Somewhat weak D, attractive overall. I'll say VF20.

AU-50. Soft D but not real weak.

I'll bump to 30 net, but I just can't see this at 50.

Deteriorated die and strike weakness, but based on the sharpest areas on the reverse, I'd say XF-45. Not quite weak enough for a weak D.

VLDS . I believe it's not a weak D . Semi weak reverse .

VLDS= very late die stage.
Grade IMO is VF20.
Not really qualifies for a weak D, but is weaker than usual.

Just looked at a PGCS F-15 weak-D which if this were the average early wheatie would grade a G-4 at highest, the reverse looks an appalling AG-3 and the obverse a G-6. Conversely, another AU-something to mint state PCGS graded 22-D weak D might bring an average VF+ if it were another Lincoln. This is literally comparing actual wear to heavy die-wear, and obviously both can be on the same coin, therefore making this date hard to grade. It is the OPs left wheat ear which to me exhibits very light wear, hence the above average thought on grading. Edited by mrwhatisit

VF-20/25, surfaces look funny, (pics?) not a "weak D".

Can't go above VF-25, weak D ( but definitely there).  |

have to agree with VLDS obverse and weak right side reverse strike. the motto and left stalk are saying an XF coin so the question then becomes do you grade this coin as it came from the mint? if so, then possible XF40. if you net it out due to the die and rev strike then maybe mid VF. since the coin is not a weak D there is really not much difference in value between a say a VF25 and XF40 so does it really matter?

Technically speaking I think xf45 based on the die state would not surprise me, possibly even lower Au. The weak D variety has a nearly non existent mint mark, and the ear detail is pretty much obliterated as well best I remember. If Fortcollins chimes in I am sure he can explain it in better detail, the man is a master of die states.
