1922 No D Cent, Desirable Strong Reverse Variety

1922 No D 1C Strong Reverse MS 62 Brown ANACS. Die Pair Two. Examples of this die pair are more desirable than their counterparts from Die Pairs One and Three. Die Pair Two was created when a pair of normal 1922-D dies clashed. The reverse die was discarded, but the obverse die was polished before being returned to the coinage press with a new reverse die. The staff at the Denver Mint apparently failed to notice that the polishing, while successfully removing evidence of the die clashing, also removed the D mintmark from the obverse die. All coins struck from this die pair display soft definition on the obverse and bold detail on the reverse, and the present example is no exception to this rule. The surfaces display rich, glossy-brown patina that is free of mentionable abrasions and carbon flecks. A problem-free example for the grade.
From the Patrick J. Mullen Collection.
