2022 D Lincoln

So, this was the first one I have found in circ this year. They are out in the Mile High city! I spend only cash so new releases are always exciting to find as they come out. Finding UNC and Gem coins in your everyday transactions seem to be a thing of the past.

I took a couple of photos just to show the in-hand look and the actual surfaces the best I could.
Under a loupe looking for contact and luster grazes. Die deterioration and spots and damage.


Trying to capture the in-hand look is very difficult to do they have very deep dark looking surfaces in MS. I am still getting 2021D's that look like this.


Hopefully the quarters dimes and nickels show up soon.
@Kurisu have you found any yet?

Great find! I'm just starting to find 2021 coinage.

 

Haven't seen any 2022 anything but have some fresh rolls for this weekend
I'm also getting a couple rolls daily at my Credit Union just especially to find out when they get the Maya quarters...

 

I was looking at this listing on the bay.
I wonder does the P have that Matte of a finish?

You mind me asking what neck of the woods you are in? (region)

 

I'm 60 miles north of the D mint and it seems like it's always April or May before I see current year coins in circulation. I've been using a lot less cash over the past couple years though.

 

none here in ct, banks say the supply is dry no coins at the brinks or n e string coo.

 

Found a couple quarters in change while at the ANA in Chicago. Found
the dime, last 2021 just before Christmas.

 

Sometimes, I wonder if banks just say that so we'll go away? Separate question - are 2022 mintage numbers known for coins from Philly and Denver?

 

They do, and so do business's that are too lazy to give change.

As for the mintage numbers. We won't know that till next year. Coins are produced as needed. So, the numbers will vary from year to year.
Here is a website with some monthly totals from 2020 and part of 2021.

I'm about 6 miles from the Denver Mint...it's ALWAYS 6 months to a year before I start seeing the newest quarters. Usually new pennies, dimes, and nickels show up within a couple months. I have banks I've going to for decades so they let me know when they get the shiny Loomis rolls

 

I'm in the land of the lost and we were still using IHC, Buffalo nickels, and mercury dimes, until a couple of years ago, so finding a 2022 coin in change up here is like being able to take an ice machine to Hades.

 

I never caught on to the shield cents, I've never liked them and don't collect them. Besides the design I can't get past all the water spots.

 

I only got a few 2021 coins in circulation. Most stores have signs to have exact money or credit card sales only. I'm not a believer that the Mint is out of coins. I think stores and other business just don't want to take the time to get coins for cash registers or to minimize the time it takes to check out at the end of the business day. I went to a store to get a soft drink in a cup, ice, drink, and straw. It rang up to 89 cents. I didn't have any change and when I tried to give the cashier a dollar bill, she told me they don't make change anymore. I don't know if anyone else has heard that kind of garbage? I left the drink on the counter and walked out. Now it was their problem. I usually use that store to get gas with my VISA because I didn't want to deal with the employees and other customers.
I have a difficult time understanding why they are refusing to make change. When I use my VISA instead of cash, they are charged 2%. One store charges $3.05 for gas and $3.09 for credit purchases.

 

I find them boring to search roll after roll, But don't mind looking at the ones I find in change. Yeah, the spots can be overwhelming at times. It all depends on the die state for me, If the coin has a lot of luster then the spots are usually minimal in most cases.

 

With all the horse trails and history. I would have a metal detector if I were you. Looking for old structures, old roads etc. Who knows you might even run across someone's stash spot.

 

Believe it or not the self-pay at King Soopers is a pretty good place to get new releases.

 

I usually atleast one roll from each denomination away each year.
Of course, they have to be UNC. I don't tend to keep an AU unless it has exceptional eye appeal.

 

There was a coin shortage and I think that some business's have just adopted the exact change policy. It could also be a laziness, or the employees just aren't capable of keeping a balances register.
I have seen this applied at some fast food, 7/11 and Little Caesars pizza. It is Sad Jim.

 

They are still zincolns, I can wait!
