fmtaxguy Valued Member United States 257 Posts	Posted 03/07/2009 2:01 pm What grade would you give this coin, and what value from the grade. The obverse is the expected weak strike, and there does appear to be rim damage at almost 6 o'clock, best seen on the obverse. Your learned, or not so learned, opinions are most welcomed and appreciated. Image: 1922noDstrev1.jpg 40.35 KB Image: 1922noDstrev.jpg 40.4 KB Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19943 Posts	Posted 03/07/2009 2:25 pm F12, I might go F-18 if it didn't have those two scratches. Nice coin! Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 03/07/2009 3:11 pm The rim damage at 6:00 on the obverse might leave this coin in a bodybag. The big gouge in the O of ONE on the reverse plus the obverse scratch hurt too. The color is natural and the coin appears to be a true "No D, Strong Reverse" from Die Pair 2. My grade would be "Rim Damage" - VF details - Net VG. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 03/07/2009 3:55 pm Those 1922s are really hard for me to grade. But, I'll also, agree with F-12 Report this Post to the Staff
fmtaxguy Valued Member United States 257 Posts	Posted 03/07/2009 4:23 pm Is the consensus here based on the weak strike of the obverse? This is the common state for the true No D coins. Or is it more because of the dings and scratches? Thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff
nlp coins Pillar of the Community United States 2373 Posts	Posted 03/07/2009 6:52 pm F12 maybe F15, nice reverse, soft obverse details. My opinion is the overall grade will be determined by the condition of the reverse. nlp Report this Post to the Staff

This is the common state for the true No D coins. Or is it more because of the dings and scratches? Thanks in advance. My opinion comes from the obvious wear on both sides of the coin. While the 22-D's are well known for over-used dies, with experience, you can learn to distinguish between die state and wear. On the plain, strong reverse coins, the reverse was very well struck using fresh dies. The reverse plays the biggest factor in judging the amount of wear. On the obverse the forehead, cheek and jaw are worn flat, this is primarily due to wear rather than die state. In reality, this coin has probably only worn down to the VF-25 level, but, the TGP's are pretty tough and they would definately grade this at the fine level. However, as pointed out, the obverse scratch may cause it to BB with a TPG. ANACS may grade it for you, but with "scratched" on the holder. If you submit it elsewhere, you will likely get a "genuine" holder. Either way, you should submit it and get it authenticated as it is a rare coin no matter what. Plenty of people would be happy to own it, but only if it's genuine. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
fmtaxguy Valued Member United States 257 Posts	Posted 03/08/2009 11:30 am Thanks for the detailed explanation, BadThad. It is just this kind of detailed response that most helps me to learn. It also furthers my appreciation of those like yourself who so generously share their greater levels of experience. Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19943 Posts	Posted 03/08/2009 12:42 pm You're very welcome. I enjoy helping others when I can, but don't think I'm the "know it all" because I certainly don't. Others on this forum dwarf me in knowledge and experience....I get corrected plenty.

fmtaxguy Valued Member United States 257 Posts	Posted 03/08/2009 5:37 pm One other thing I was wondering about. Is it just me, or the light, maybe, but does the second 2 of the date look a bit off. It appears sharper and thinner than anything else on the obverse, including the other numbers on the date. Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean, etc..... Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19943 Posts	Posted 03/08/2009 6:19 pm The second 2 on the 1922-D's is always funky. On my 22 plain with weak reverse you can only make out the second 2 with magnification and just the right angle. Lincoln Cent Lover!
