WOW, a 1922 no 'D' Lincoln, looks real to me, EF-45.  |

I say real as well! Not to mention exceptional! Here's a second vote for EF-45.

I think the coin is authentic. I agree with EF-45. That coin is a beauty!

You aren't kidding when you say your pics aren't the best. The two obverse pics look like two different coins.
Guess it's the lighting.
I'd say EF for second obverse. Reverse looks EF-45

The coin came from an estate collection I bought. It's in a Capitol holder & I haven't removed it to weigh it. The first obverse pic & the reverse pic accurately reflect the color of the coin. I added the second obverse pic with different lighting because I felt like it showed the detail better. If you look closely you can see identical marks in front of Lincoln's nose.

I don't see anything wrong other than the color is suspect. I'd DEFINATELY send it to a TPG for grading/authentication. EF-45 |

This one also came back from Anacs today. They said it's the NoD Die 2, & gave it a EF 45 DETAILS with the designation Altered Surfaces-Corroded. Any ideas on what a fair market price might be for it?

DOOD! THAT'S AWESOME! You have a rare coin regardless of the details designation! I had a feeling about the surfaces, but it's still a high grade no D. You hit a couple of good grades here lately with some important key dates! CONGRATS!
I'd value this around $1500 all day long.

On another note, I'd be tempted to crack it and let it sit in a window sill for a year or two. Occassionally thumb it and flip it to try and get it to re-brown/re-tone. It might look a lot better and command more money regardless of the surfaces. Who knows, with the proper color it might re-grade without the details and you could have a $2000+ coin.

I expected it to come back as being recolored which is waht I'm assuming the "altered surfaces" refers to. I'm totally surprised by corroded.....I just don't see any evidence of that.

I see one little spot on the lower left reverse but I have seen slabbed coins with worse spots. Overall, the coin has great details for a 22 no D  |

Surfaces look fine I think this is a $1500+ coin. TPG should put this in a problem free slab ("market grade") it is gorgeous. |
