emh Valued Member United States 85 Posts	Posted 03/23/2011 11:05 am I want to say this is just a worn coin, however I can't say with certainty. Either my eye sight is going or the pictures you provided have a slight blur on the top. If possible could you provide pictures with a focus on the "In God We Trust", "E Pluribus Unum" and the date. From what I understand the main points of determining if the coin is a weak D or not are these 3 area's. Report this Post to the Staff

You're going to have to really struggle to see what these, um, "experts," are wanting to call that. We've got five 1922-Ds, and a few of those are "weaker" than this one, and none of them are the "Weak D." Is that a find, BTW? If it is, that's a heck of one. Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19951 Posts	Posted 03/23/2011 2:20 pm Not a weak D, you can barely make out the D on a weak D. This coin is a typical 22-D, but a GREAT find! Just so others know, the MM is a low part of the design. It's not really going to show wear until the whole coin is AG or less, at which point the coin will be almost FR or P and you'll also have a tough time seeing the date. Whenever the MM is weak, it's because the coin was struck that way, not from wear. G-4, looks like it may have been cleaned a long time ago. Lincoln Cent Lover!

Basically, the date will wear down to next to nothing before the mint mark wears down. Report this Post to the Staff
