I unrolled this one last night. At first it was just another "wheatie" from the back, which caught my attention, then the date caught me by surprise. Too bad that the "D" is so obvious. I revised the title a little bit after doing some research on "weak D" 22's. It is stated that there were three different die pairs ( RedBook 2010), some produced the weak D, while the most valuable produced the strong reverse. Would you be able to tell which this one is?    Who says that there are not any good ones out there? Not me...anymore. Edited by oih82w8

I had to check my floder, to make sure it was still there! It is identical to mine. Mine was found in one of the many large lots of wheats I have bought. The onkly one, BTW!

Very nice!  I would be tempted to put that one into my Dansco album's "1922-D Plain" hole. Maybe after spending a few months as a pocket piece. It is okay, because I do not like the fact that the hole is there.  |

I have a 22 D too that lives in that slot. Fools most people because you really can't see the d at all.
Sweet find in circulation for sure!

It appears that I have a supporter for my plan. |

I plan on putting a weak D in my Lincoln Dansco, got the idea from Jbuck .. I think I have seen where he had said that before. From my research, I think, please correct me if I am wrong. Die sets 1, 3 and 4 produce weak D and no D coins. From what I read on those die sets, the mint mark would go from a weak D to all the way clogged and no mint mark. These 3 die sets have only weak reverses. I believed they mentioned very little detail on wheat ears. Die set #2 - The obverse was damaged and polished to the point there was no longer a mint mark. At that point a new or good reverse die was used. - You can have a no D with a strong reverse from dies set #2 - You can have no D with weak reverse from die sets 1,3 and 4 - You can have a weak D with weak reverse from die sets 1, 3 and 4 What you can't have is a weak D with a strong reverse, I believe those are from post mint wear. Again... please correct me if I am wrong Edited by GR58

The guys at the store put aside anything that appears to be "out of the ordinary" for me to acquire. I may have to purchase the remaining green rolls from the strong box.  |

That would be a prudent move! |

what about a D that isn't that weak? There is a bit of weakness on the 22 on mine, but other than that it looks like a normal coin with avg wear. The D does not seem weak at all, IMO.

All Lincoln cents in 1922 were made in Denver, and should be 1922 D's. Some of the die's were worn and produced varieties/error, these are referred to as 1922 "no D" and a 1922 "weak D". The Dansco Lincoln Cent album has a hole for a 1922 "no D" or what we use to call a 1922 plain. Both the 1922 "no D" and "weak D" sell at a premium. It seems some of us consider filling the Dansco hole with a weak D, for a difference of hundreds of dollars, and because some do not consider either the "no D" or "weak D" coin as regular issue.

Agreed. My 1922-D has a very strong D, so placing any "Weak D" next to it will most definitely show a contrast while saving me a long of money.  |
