1922 Weak D Lincoln Cent Coin - Look real?

Varieties are not one of my strong suits. Does this look like a genuine weak D?

Nice coin, I would say It is a genuine coin and maybe not a weak D though.

 

Some members can tell by looking at the Reverse.. Show a nice full picture of the other side.

 

The second '2' is slightly weaker, but it might just be a plain 1922-D, the reverse should tell more. Jim

 

Most likely just a normal 1922 D. Need the reverse to tell. This website can help.

Looks like a normal but worn 1922-D. There is too much D for the weak D variety.

 

This is the reverse if that helps.

 

Just a normal 1922 D. Gotta remember, there were a lot of poorly stuck wheats through the 1920s, especially at the branch mints Denver and San Francisco. It is more common than you think to see weak mintmarks for whatever reason on wheat cents through this period. However, this does not appear to be one of the three die pairs that did infact strike the so called weak D.

So basically we can say that your coin could be a slightly filled die or just circulation wear, or a combination of both. But not a true weak D. Hope this helps.

Thanks

 

On a weak D, it's REALLY hard to see it if at all.

 

It looks like a normal 1922-D to me. The real thing really looks moth eaten. You coin is “too nice.”

 

The D is not weak enough to be a weak D.

 

I agree. It needs a little more circulation wear.

 

Yep. Real normal D only

 

found this one cent 1922 No "D" > 60 years age. Is it a 1922 No D??

 

There's so much wear, you need better photos.
Even 60 years ago people were removing the D.
Right now it's difficult to say because of condition.
Better clear and crisp photos might help.

 

I can see at least remnants of a D, but the wear may have much more to do with it. Try this page
