<p>[QUOTE="SSG_Gonzo, post: 2924570, member: 31791"]So I found a 1922-D Lincoln cent a few years ago and it was listed as a "Weak D" at the time I had limited info since I didn't do any research into the coin type and based on the price I made a rash choice and bought it. Of course, after I got home and looked it up and posted it on CT I realized I possibly made a mistake. Below is the image of the coin that I am referring to:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]708857[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>As you can see from the image there are a few things that are wrong lol, such as the rotation of the reverse side of the coin. In the info provided regarding the Weak D, the Rev is rotated CCW, mine is rotated CW. Some of the markers are there of course such as the L in Liberty on the rim of the coin, the mushy 2 in the year, the weak but present D mint mark. </p><p><br /></p><p>In the previous discussion though a CT'r was very confrontational about the fact that I was wrong in labeling my coin as a "Weak D" and since I was in the process of readying myself to deploy with the Army I wasn't able to figure anything out.

So I have taken some more pictures and I am reaching out to you fellow CT'rs in order for some guidance on this 1922-D Lincoln Cent.

Notice on this image that the 1922-D on the right is not the same size as the one to the left.
