1922 No D

GoldRush, no worries at all! If I'm wrong on something I definitely want to know, so I never take offense to someone correcting me. They're doing me a favor. :)

It's been a long time since I kept up on the 22 Plain. A while back I sold a 22 Plain Strong Reverse, PCGS G6 for an upgrade. I bought it on ebay for $600 bucks I think (or was it $660?). I do remember several dealers looked stunned at how "cheap" I bought it for.

With all of their problems I'm still a big fan of ebay. Look for low starting, no reserve (auctions) on ebay and you can really score some good deals, or at worst pay fair market value.

I'll help you look if you want. Which one are you looking for, and what grade? I have fun looking so I don't mind at all.

Well that clears up my confusion perfectly. It is a discrepancy with how the grading companies define the different dies classes.

I found this coin for sale for $125, but the slab was not shown, just the pics of the coin. I thought the only true no d was at least $500, so I "called this guys bluff" and asked for a picture of the slab. Low and behold there it is. So now I'm thinking fake slab or great deal. I really didn't think this person would sell for way under value so I thought someone here could look up the number on the slab (I assume members only can do this).
But now I've learned there is more to the 22d than I thought I knew

Anyway at the end of the day I'm not that concerned with filling a hole just because of worn die's and it looks like $125 is close to fair market value and then some.

I want to thank everyone for clarifying this for me and I assume Scooby is banging his head against the wall because 22d lincoln threads come up too often

Hmm, that does alter my opinion a bit. I think that is a nice price and I was expecting you to quote a figure 2-3x higher. If you have $125 to spare, I would say go for it. I would have a hard time passing it up for that money

In order do give the most information I looked around and found a old copy of "Coin Values Dec 2009"
This is the only place I have seen prices for the different varieties/die pairs of the 1922 No D/weak D
coins. Of course this is just a guide and others here might know how accurate prices from this magazine
are. This is how the magazine breaks down the prices

.                                G4  VG8    F12   VF20   EF40   
1922 missing D strong reverse   800  900   1250   1600   3500 
1922 missing D weak reverse                1000   1400   1700
1922 weak reverse                25   30     40     60    150

Edit .. last entry should read 1922 weak D weak reverse

Even though these are old prices, from coin values magazine, based on these numbers
I agree with biokemist6 that the $125 price for this coin seems like a pretty good deal.

I have never researched some of the auction prices, other members may be able to come up with
some different data.

Not sure why all the numbers above did not line up right ..
FYI they do not list any price for 22 missing D weak reverse for G4 and VG8

GoldRush, I fixed your table.

You can use [code] before and [/code] after the table. This will force it to render with a fixed-width (monospace) font (e.g., courier).

You are very welcome.

Thank you for the information!

$125 is a fair price, better pics would help. I'd like to see what the lamination actually looks like. I think this would be a good coin for any Lincoln collector.

paratrooper - I love that coin man, it's the bomb.

Nice find oih!
