No Takers on this one?  The coin has too much ware for me to be sure. |

In my opinion This could be a die #2 1922 no D - No trace of a D - second 2 is stronger than the first - All letters in "TRUST" are sharp. ( in yours I think "trust" is stronger then rest of motto) - We is mushy - L in liberty butts the rim - strong reverse with nice wheat lines. This is a coin that should be sent to a TPG. The "ding" under the date, is the biggest problem IMO. |

Thanks That is kind of what I was thinking. I will TPG this one. I have it as a 12 to 15 The PMD under the date is too bad. But it is what it is!  Edited by twohawks

I hope I did not say that in a negative way. About the ding. I agree .. it is what it is. I would just hope that a TPG would not be hard on the grade, because of it. On something like that (ding) I do not know how TPG's deal with it. I think it is a very nice coin, and would love to have it in my Lincoln album. But I would send it in, just for peace of mind. |

I did not take you comment as a negative at all :) Just a statement of fact ! At this grade I do not think it will really come in to play. Any thing over a 12 and I think I would be happy. It has one thing going for it ....It is brown and not cleaned or played with!

It's just a 22-D, nothing special IMHO. I can see the MM at the start of the scratch on the right. Sorry to bear the bad news, but a TGP will not grade that coin. There's obvious damage right where the MM goes, they would call it altered MM no matter if it is or not. So many of these have been altered the risk to reputation is not worth grading it. If they did, it'd be one of those slabs that people ridicule....think about it.  Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

I know that Brad Thad and coop are experts on this subject. And I have to say I was looking at die markers, and did not look that close at the scratch. But If I am seeing, what I think they are seeing. I think they are saying the right side of the scratch might be what is the top of a "D". I do see something .. but I think if that was a mint mark, that it is in slightly the wrong position. More under the first 2 then between the 9 and 2. I am using this post as a guide. https://goccf.com/t/70786Also I still believe that this coin has the die markers of a die #2. After reading Brad Thad and coops post .. I do have apprehension of that scratch being in that area ... I sure would like to see that coin in hand. |

On that one Goldrush, the (D's) top is level with the lower bottom end of the (9) That would place the D if there was one one this coin above the PMD (post mint damage) and I do not see anything in that area. |

Here is a blow up of the one you added and the my coin. The D is just below the 9 in the date and it looks as if the top of the (D) is at or right below the level of the (9's) leg.   |

It sure does look like it has the right diagnostics for a No D die pair #2.
