MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2001 Posts	Posted 06/12/2023 9:18 pm There are NO 1922 P mint coins, only D mint , missing D, or weak D. Not sure if yours is weak D or missing D. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94763 Posts	Posted 06/12/2023 9:33 pm It definitely a Denver minted cent, question is it a weak D or no D. Can you post up a close up of the MM area (please include the date in the image too)? With the extreme ware on this cent, I doubt it is the No 'D' (the no D variety had a strong reverse, which is something this one does not have.) Collecting since 1972.

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 06/12/2023 10:04 pm 1922 do not has Phil strikes or San Francisco. the problem it is the coins is so damages that I do not believe pass an AV grad. No D was only in one kind of strike : Strong Reverse which we can still detect here. Edited by silviosi 06/12/2023 10:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 06/13/2023 12:20 am There are 4 interesting dies from 1922-D This is not die 2, the "no D" variety as the reverse is weak. Die 4 is very late die stage and called "coattails" as the bust flows down to the rim, which doesn't seem right for this coin although certainly it is late die stage. But the fact that both of the 2's in the date seem about equal in strike is not true for any of the 4 dies, as they have either the first or second 2 weak. I'd say this is an altered coin with the D removed. Given that it is a late die stage, it would have just taken a tiny bit of shaving to remove the D. The wear and bits of damage would easily cover evidence of the shaving. Report this Post to the Staff

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5661 Posts	Posted 06/13/2023 12:03 pm To me it looks most like a 22 no D or weak D, weak reverse, die pair #3, due to the disproportionate weakness of the wheat ears and the waviness of the reverse field. Most 1922-D altered MM coins would have a much stronger reverse even with a late die state. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 187663 Posts	Posted 06/13/2023 12:27 pm One thing I can add is that if I had found this cent in circulation, it would likely be used to fill that hole in my Dansco.
