Moderately Patinated 1922 No D Cent
Strong Reverse, MS62 Brown

1922 No D 1C Strong Reverse MS62 Brown PCGS. FS-401. Die Pair 2. The Die Pair 2 is easily recognized (aside from the complete absence of a D mintmark) by the second 2 in the date, which is sharper than the first 2; sharpness on all the letters of TRUST, with WE only slightly mushy; and the much-sharper reverse, including separation in the wheat ears, than ever seen on Die Pairs 1 or 3.
The semiglossy surfaces of this key-date cent show variegated brown, tan, lavender, and pale blue shadings. Carbon-free, though a hair-thin mark is visible in the upper right obverse field. Even in MS62 Brown condition this piece is a formidable rarity. Few examples of this die pair within any color designation qualify at the Mint State level. In fact, PCGS has certified only 26 pieces within all three color designations--Brown, Red and Brown, Red--as MS62, with 25 pieces finer. In MS62 Brown this piece is one of 22 coins so certified, with 14 Brown finer (3/10).
