1922 No D Cent, MS62 Brown
Die Pair 2, Strong Reverse

1922 1C No D, Strong Reverse, FS-401, MS62 Brown NGC. Die Pair 2, represented here, is the most desirable of the 1922 No D Lincoln cent varieties. Bold reverse detail from a fresh die and a sharp second 2 in the obverse date are the most obvious diagnostics of this important Guide Book variety. All cent coinage in 1922 took place at the Denver Mint. Most examples of this issue show a clear D mintmark, and many others have a weak mintmark due to die polishing. Coins struck from Die Pair 2 after the mintmark was completely effaced from the obverse are seldom available in Uncirculated condition. This toned example is satiny and minimally abraded for the grade. The reverse is sharp, while the obverse exhibits the expected "mushy" definition from extensive die wear. There is no trace of the once-present Denver mintmark. Census: 12 in 62 (1 in 62+) Brown, 10 finer; 2 in 62 Red and Brown, 10 finer (6/18).
