Yes it does exist and if I remember correctly its a variety not an error with two types strong reverse and weak.
Here is the variety types and which are "no D" reverses http://www.lincolncentresource.com/1922Ddievarieties.html
The "no D" and "weak D" varieties were caused by extremely worn dies. So I guess it could be called an error.
yeah, if it's a rare occurrence, one here or there during striking, it's an error. if it's a lot of coins struck with the dies and repeated, it's a variety. there's more to it than just this but this is the basic rule of course.
It is a real coin, a genuine US cent struck with an extremely worn obv die that no longer shows the D mintmark. I would say it could be called a variety because after the last polishing that removed the last traces of the D it was paired with a new rev. The no D obv only comes with that new rev. If you are just talking about the obv die I would refer it is as a die stage. It is the same die it always was but it comes with and without the mintmark. Different stages.
Haha, me too. Hey, I believe @ZoidMeister has found a solution for us: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/i-...n-think-that-i-would-own-one-of-these.383715/ You too can freak out your heirs when they open up your Whitman album.
They are affordable enough that I grabbed a couple. Now some skilled dremeling should fill the other . . . . Z
I have 3 no D's, several week D's, and even a few with D. I purchased most of them several years ago when the prices were much lower than todays market. Enjoyed your post, thank you.
Me too, bought them many years ago. THEN read an article in coin world to refrain from buying raw 1922 Plain cents due to normal circulation wear and tear. Oh well too late.
