[QUOTE="huntsman53, post: 520332, member: 1242"]Thad, If my memory serves me correctly, the scenario that you stated is not the reason for the Plain "No D" 1922 Cent! The reason for the "No D" Mint Mark is because the Mint Mark became clogged (filled) with grease, grime and probably coin planchet debris. If the Mint workers had ground or polished the Mint mark from the Die, then there would be a large high spot beneath (below) the Date since it would take quite a bit of grinding and polishing to remove the Mint Mark completely from the Die.
