1922 D Lincoln Wheat Cent . Die Pair 1

It does look like Die Pair 1. Not sure if it's the missing or weak D though. https://www.lincolncentresource.com...rieties.html

Here is an angle pic that captures the reflection. You can see the year 1922 well.




On this second close up pic, the second 2 just disappears.

looks like the die #1 as for no D weak reverse designation I see a schmeer of a remnant D which is better than a pip D. Schmeer pip smudge whatever you call it theres a raised area where MM would normally be if I see it so will a good grader. My vote 1922 weak D die #1 VG10 details.
I believe NGC and ICG are only TPG's who recognize no D weak reverse at present.
These are tricky iv'e seen 5 NGC and 2 PCGS no D weak rev coins where you clearly see a smudged tiny crooked D better yet the PCGS plate coin in MS65 clearly shows a tiny pip D yet labled "no D" it may still be on GC for $12k even though kicked out of PCGS registry set and now maybe a zombie coin wandering the earth in search of home. I digress if you want a killer no D weak reverse look for ANACS slabbed weak D 1922's some have absoloutly no D smooth as baby bottom no marks smudges no nothing and match/rival the die #2 in nothing awesomeness. Ive picked up 2 in last year slabbed for $77 and $100 the days of $300 no D weak reverse are gone since PCGS delisted.
BadThad can tell you about these no D's we love them come in every style 1-4 I'm a sucker for die #2 even though just a simple die scrubb event its awesome.

Agree. deserves a holder.

Thanks for the replies. I was planning on just adding it to my Lincoln Cent album but will consider sending it in.

A curiously attractive piece...

Appears to something there. But as you stated might just be PMD. Definitely been around the block.
