DmanofLV Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 10/17/2022 1:22 pm I added this coin to my collection last year from an estate sale. The obverse is high relief and the border rims are about 60% larger than normal. The reverse is a weak strike but apparently, the coin is uncirculated. Does anyone know of any variety of this coin to be existing? Edited by DmanofLV 10/17/2022 4:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff

DmanofLV Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 10/17/2022 1:39 pm I have photos of the 1922-D Lincoln error but for some reason they will not load. They are saved as PDF files. Report this Post to the Staff
DmanofLV Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 10/17/2022 2:25 pm I obtained this coin from an estate sale last year. Uncirculated Strrong Relief Obverse 1922-D Brown Lincloln error with Jumbo Rim and motto/rim intrusions. The Reverse is also uncirculated, weak strike. There is a very small nick at the top of the 0 in the 0NE. Otherwise the fields are superb. Both sides of the Rim is about 2x the width than normal. The L in LIBERTY is touching the rim and the Reverse IN GOD WE TRUST motto is extreme. I have not found a variety of this coin or reference in any of my error books. Does anyone know where I can get any information on this coin? Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97062 Posts	Posted 10/17/2022 5:54 pm Can you take this coin out of the 2x2 and compare the thickness of it to a 'normal' cent (hopefully of the same year/mint - but something close could work.) I wonder if this coin is thinner than normal, also what is the weight of it? it should weigh in at 3.11 grams. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2957 Posts	Posted 10/17/2022 6:39 pm This looks almost too good to be true... Could have been a very high grade in a former bezel? Might be a Chinese knock-off also... Report this Post to the Staff
DmanofLV Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 10/17/2022 7:08 pm The coin weighs 3.1 grams. The coin is 1900mm in diameter and the width is 1.5mm thick. The size and weight is exactly the same as any other 1922 Lincoln Cent it is compared to. The coin is positively genuine and not a fake or reproduction. It is an error coin. The sharpest experts in the country would tell you the same but most of them are not error experts. It is not a doubt or question of if the coin is genuine. I am only trying to find out if there is a variety number for a coin of this date or if any other collector or dealer has seen or know of one. I have seen a 1942 variety Lincoln with a Jumbo Rim but not with the same characteristics. You can find it on the internet to at least educate yourself and understand more. I have already done that but have not found a variety number to refer it to. I have collected coins for over 50 years and was good friends with the late Grover Criswell, past president of the ANACS.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 10/17/2022 7:29 pm You may be convinced this cent is real, but I for one am not. If it started its life as genuine, somehow it has been altered. I may be wrong, but this cent has been damaged post mint. no mint errors here, sorry. Report this Post to the Staff
