    I found this coin and a very worn 1922 no D coin with a weak reverse but I can't find anything about the 1922 D with the two die breaks.:rolleyes:I found them in an unsearched roll I bought from Ebay.

    Is is a common coin or more rare and does it have some value? I would grade the coin AU with a strong reverse.

    I searched Ebay and found one just like mine that is offered for $1700 or so but couldn't find anything when I search my Cherrypickers Guide or the internet.

    Help...I'm new to collecting but picked up a MS 67 1972 Die 1 double Die for a good price I think.

    All the best,

    Thanks for the comment. I'm much happier with my find now for sure.
     
  5. Could you post pictures? Unfortunately, there are numerous counterfeits out there.

    First off, welcome to CT.

    The value of a 1922-D with two die breaks depends on the condition of the coin only. The die breaks will likely add nothing to the value. Without pictures, I can add no more.

    As for the 1922 no D, my first guess is that it would be a weak D (just based on the percentage posted here), but without pictures........

    I don't have the ability to add a photo but I did check out the Ebay coin reverse that I mentioned above and they are identical.

    1922-D Lincoln Wheat Cent Penny 2X DIE BREAK -RARE... This is the description used on the Ebay listing.

    I will work on photos but don't have the digital equipment right now. Sorry

    You mean this one http://cgi.ebay.com/1922-D-Lincoln-...16?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item2a0dfe96e8

    I could ask $10,000 for mine also, but that does not mean it will sell for that nor that it is worth that much. And that is a $20 coin.

    With 1922 no D cents, a photo of both the obverse and reverse is essential. Only one die pair is worth the big bucks.

    That coin is grossly over-priced. I bought a VF example with the two die cracks for $20. That coin is closer to EF, but it has some damage and corrosion on the reverse. I agree with RLM's $20 price. It might be worth $25-30 to the right collector looking for one with the die breaks as they are slightly scarce.

    You'd have to have an expert examine the coin to determine if it is in fact a no D. There's 4 known die pairs. As far as I know, there is no die pair for the no D with BOTH die cracks....so chances are you don't have a no D.

    Also, unless you know exactly what you're looking at, never assume a 22D is very worn. They were some of the weakest cents ever issued. Try reading this to start:
