<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 4729458, member: 101855&quot;]The die was made with a mint mark. The trouble with this die was that it was pushed beyond its limits, and the mint mark was filled in or even polished off of it. There are intermediate die states of this which show a weak or “broken D.” Such coins are not 1922 no D cents, but some dealers and even the TPGs have tried to push they off as such. I remember in the early days of slabbing seeing a “1922 Plain” cent with a weak D showing in a PCGS slab. </p><p><br /></p><p>Why did the Denver Mint issue an inferior product like this? Dies were in short supply because the Philadelphia Mint was devoting a lot of its resources to the production of millions of 1922 Peace Dollars.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
