1922 No D

Reverse

what jbuck said is correct. however I will never own this one unless I find it roll searching

It's been a while since I was shopping for the 22 Plain, but if my memory serves me correctly there are four recognized die pairs, and die pair 1 is considered THE only true plain. It's also more commonly referred to as, "1922 Plain with Strong Reverse." Other variants are "22 Plain with Weak Reverse" or "22 Weak D" - all of which refer to the less valuable die pairs 2, 3, or 4. All three of the cheaper versions are actually considered weak D's.

Also, I'm pretty sure a true 22 Plain is actually multiples of the value of the lesser versions, especially in higher grades. XF examples of the 1922 Plain, Strong Reverse command over $2000 on the market.

Edit: And this is a dead horse that's worth beating. I fully agree with the others about the planchet flaw being a negative. If it's a non-detatched lamination that would be a plus for many common date coin. But for keys and semi-keys it's a big negative, I think the 22 Weak D can fairly be categorized as a semi-key. What's more, I believe "Planchet Flaw" means a detached lamination and that would be a negative on any coin.

If you can comfortably afford the 22 Weak D in the grade you want I would definitely hold out. But if not, and this coin's flaw puts it within reach then go for it.

I have been thinking of this all day .. and feel like jumping in. This is a hard coin to put a value on.
Most of the guides to not break down the different varieties.

I do agree with most of what been said, but I believe the four die pairs break down something like this.
The only strong reverse is on die #2, and it will always be a no D. This is the high dollar coin everyone
would like to have to fill the hole that most of us don't want in the album.

Die pairs 1,3,4 will always have a weak reverse. Because of the dies being so worn and polished(lapped) the weak D sometimes would become filled . So on these 3 die pairs you can have a weak or no/missing D.

There are other die markers that help identify if it is a Die 1,3 or 4. I recently purchase a new lap top and do not have all my coin pages book marked. If I remember right die pair #3 has a rotated die, which this one looks to have.

I also very much agree that the details and planchet error really hurts this coin. But if you got it at good price it would be a nice coin to fill that spot.

There is one of the magazines, maybe coin values that tries to list prices for the different varieties.
of course the weak D is least expensive then what I call missing D .. and then top dog No D strong reverse (die #2)

of course this is just my opinion .. hope I did not remember any of the info wrong

With out seeing a guide I would want to buy this coin between $50 to $100.00
If it did not have the Details and planchet error .. I would say more in the $150+

GoldRush, correct me if I'm wrong but I'm almost certain the No D Strong Reverse is Die Pair 1.

Thank you, Gold. I guess I was wrong as two... er.. nevermind.

Yep, LCR has some great info. Here's mine:
