If you read the link [USER=33176]@Kentucky[/USER] provided, you'll see it's from PCGS.  They give a good explanation of how the D was removed from the die.  You'll also see the similar explanations in the Lincoln Cent reference books by Dr. Sol Taylor, David Lange, and the mega Redbook on cents edited by Q David Bowers.  Currently [USER=13813]@CaptHenway[/USER] has been researching the 1922-D (not sure if it will be an article or book), and he hasn't indicated any significant changes to the body of knowledge that the D and weak first 2 were due to a filled die and not die polish. Remember, the term die polish can mean anything from a light touch up to aggressive metal removal, which was the case with the 22D and 3 legged Buffalo nickel. Even though you disagree, and feel the need to yell at people who are trying to help you learn, there has been quite a bit of research over the years, done and/or compiled by some of the best numismatic scholars that say you're wrong. You could always write an article with your data, pics, and characteristics that indicates it's a filled die, but until then all I see is your opinion.  And if we're going on opinions, I'll trust the credibility of the numismatic researchers, not some guy with no data and no history of research posting on a chat board[/QUOTE]
