Description

Exceptional Select 1922 No D Lincoln Cent With Original Luster

1922 No D 1C Weak Reverse MS 63 Red and Brown NGC. Die Pair Three. Other than characteristic softness of definition over the reverse, there are no apparent problems on either side of this important example. Cherry-red luster intermingles with golden-brown patina to form a pleasingly original appearance. The number of small abrasions and carbon flecks are consistent with the grade, but both sides present uncommonly well for the issue.
Unlike coins from Die Pair Two, those from Die Pairs One and Three were struck from severely worn obverse and reverse dies. The absence of the mintmark on examples of the latter two varieties is due to grease that filled the mintmark cavity during production. Although the grease lifted from the obverse die in later die states (with the result that the D is partially visible on some Die Pair One and Three coins), the present example does not display any evidence of the mintmark. Examples of all three die pairs are elusive in Mint State because this error was not widely recognized until several years after production. Population: 5 in 63, 0 finer (11/00).
