Need help with 1922 Lincoln Cent.

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this 1922 Lincoln Cent. My dad gave me 3 of these coins. I found a website that explained there were 4 dies for the 1922. I guess which die dertermines the week or no D. I also know there are fakes out there. I have seen a few fakes on the internet and I honestly can't see any evidence of a D removed, but I'm so new at this that doesn't mean much. If anyone can lend me their expertise on this coin I would appreciate it. Also, if you could let me know of another website to learn from, that would be great. Thanks so much all!

Yes that one is more rare then the D but unless held in hand we really cant see if the D was removed or not, If it is a real 1922 D then it can be worth a bit, Heres on one ebay right now for 100 http://cgi.ebay.com/1922-Lincoln-Wh...33?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item3f07bab3fd but remember it looks to be in a little better shape then yours, grading can make or break a coin.

 

Thanks for the input. Even under magnification I can't tell so I'll put this one aside for now. Thanks again!

 

Here is a link for the different dies. And, no, the dies do not determine if it is a weak "D", only which are possible.

From a quick look. it is fake.

 

Now that I have had chance to look at it, it is a fake. not die #1 - no die crack to the O. Not die #2 - "IN GOD WE" is way too strong. Not die #3 - "E PLURIBUS" is too strong and not die #4 - the bust is not against the rim.

 

So the year is faked? Or is it just a regular 1922 D? Just curious how they would fake a year. Thanks!

 

By fake I mean that they have removed the "D" from a 1922-D.

 

Gotcha! Thanks so much for the info and thanks for the website!
