[QUOTE="Collecting Nut, post: 8351286, member: 74863"]I was able to find more information about this coin. Not this particular coin but the date and what caused it. The 1922 No D Lincoln cent is the only circulation strike coin, in the entire Lincoln cent series which lacks its intended mint mark. It is believed that the Denver Mint was receiving extreme pressure as it was the only mint producing coins for the year 1922. This pressure caused a lot of sloppiness in the production process. The belief is a pair of dies clashed with one another without a coin being in between the two dies. As a result, a mint employee obtained an old obverse die and filed it down in order to improve its appearance. But instead, the mint employee ended up filing the D mint mark too much, and in return, created the 1922 No D Lincoln cents. The 1922 No D Lincoln Cent has always been recognized as a major die variety. It is a variety not an error. This is a very popular coin in fairly short supply so it has always commanded a hefty premium. The 1922 No D Strong Reverse Lincoln is very challenging to acquire due to its high value in any grade and is considered scarce. It is believed that most of them have been certified since they command such high premiums. Not to mention the fake ones with the D removed after leaving the mint. Population records should provide a good idea of this coins true scarcity. Another variety is the 1922 Weak D which are less popular but still command a premium, just considerably lower than the no D variety. The third variety is the Weak Reverse. An authentic 1922 No D Lincoln cent will display very sharp details on the reverse unlike the additional two varieties of this year. A 1922 No D cent should have the second 2 stronger than the first 2. Also the word TRUST is sharply struck. There are additional diagnostics which differentiate the more expensive and popular 1922 No D Lincoln cents. Therefore, authentication is highly recommended for this variety.[/QUOTE]
