Elusive Mint State 1922 No D Cent, MS62 PCGS

1922 No D 1C Weak Reverse MS62 Brown PCGS. This popular variety was struck from a worn out obverse die that was further weakened by regrinding to efface clash marks. In its later states, this obverse die wore down so far that the mintmark eventually vanished. No new dies were available from the Engraving Department in Philadelphia at this time due to the increased attention being devoted to Peace dollars. The '22 No D is usually available only in low grades; it is very rare in Mint State. The MS62 example we offer here is thus a rare opportunity for the Lincoln cent specialist. Even, medium brown patination dominates each side, with glimpses of mint red fringing the rims and many of the design elements. The obverse devices are adequately defined, as are those in the central reverse. Typical weakness is apparent on the reverse periphery. Scattered unobtrusive and toned-over minor contact marks are noted, particularly on Lincoln's face and upper shoulder. Overall, a pleasing Mint State representative. Population: 1 in 62, 6 finer (9/04).(#2540) (Registry values: N2998)
