1922 Weak Reverse Cent, MS64 Red and Brown
Die Pair 3, Just a Trace of the D Remains

1922 No D 1C Weak Reverse MS64 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. Die Pair 3, identifiable by the weak second 2 in the date and the distended O in ONE. Generous amounts of mint red cling to the surfaces -- most of the obverse, and the periphery on the reverse -- unusual for any 1922 No D cent. The central obverse is chiefly ice-blue, and the reverse has more variegated central color. As always seen (and diagnostic), the reverse is soft due to both the strike and prolonged die use, particularly on the wheat stalks, where about half the detail is absent. As is sometimes the case with this die pair, the ghost of a mintmark can be seen under magnification. This coin is tied with a small handful of Weak Reverse coins at PCGS for the finest numerically certified, regardless of color designation. A real prize for the Lincoln cent specialist. Population: 9 in 64 Red and Brown, 0 finer (5/12).
