Great find, wish I could be as lucky. Maybe it's just my eyes but I see what looks like a very weak mint mark under the first 2.

It looks like a very weak D, but who knows for sure. Definitely get it attributed.

Nice find! Definitely not the "strong reverse", but could be a "no d weak reverse". I'm thinking it may be a die 1. Congrats!

HOOOOOLY MACKERAL. Good one, Moe! It looks like a typical no-D to me, but what do I know.
If you want to sell it, I'll give you $5? :D

Nicely done! Congrats!

I have been looking at these lately. I am not seeing the die markers needed to make a "No D", "missing D" or "weak D" To be a Die #2 needs a strong reverse and no hint of a mint mark. To be a die #1 - should be a die crack on the reverse running from the "L" in pluribus to the "0" in one, I can't see this die crack on yours. Also the "T" in trust should be stronger then the other letters and the "T,U and T" in trust should be stronger than the "R and S" Your "R" and "S" seem to be as strong or stronger then the other letters. To be a die #3 - On the reverse the O in one should be spreading on the lower left side. And the reverse should be slightly rotated counter clockwise. (of course you would have to tell us that) To be a die #4 - on the obverse Lincoln's coat tails should be merging with the rim at 4 to 5 o'clock position. Yours seems to have complete seperation from Lincoln and the rim. Please let me know if I am missing some of these, maybe with the coin in hand you can see more of the die markers. I did not mention all the die markers .. but I do think you have to have most if not all of them to have a true No/missing/weak D coin. EDIT : PS .. I keep looking at your coin, and I think it has the look of what a missing D or weak D should have, it just doesn't have the die markers that I think the TPG's will be looking for. Edited by GR58

Just for a review for all : http://www.lincolncentresource.com/...rieties.htmlThere is a hint of lines in the top of the left stalk. Actually the more I look at this, the more it seems like maybe a die #3, just before any spread started with the "O".  Opinions? Edited by Moe145

Moe
Does the reverse have a slightly counter clockwise rotation?

Well, it certainly has no indications of being altered under the "1922". Definitely get it authenticated. Looks like you may have "won the lottery."
