22D no D

So, I bought this one because of the "wood" grain, and it was a great price.
I think it is a die 3, I will add a few different photos, because the wood grain and weak strike, were hard to capture with the in hand look.
This photo shows the L backed up to the rim, also the weaker "WE"
The mint mark is slightly visible upon magnification, I guess what I am saying is that is definitely not a full no D.
Please enlighten me, I would be happy to give more photos if needed.

I have no idea how to grade this variety, except for contact marks.

IMO, not 22-P VF, v. worn dies.

 

Except the D is there.
This is the best I could do with the lighting.

 

Looks like a weak 'D' , type 3 rev.

 

Looks like a weak d. I love the wood grain look on this coin.

 

Amazing Woody where did you find it? I've been looking for a nice woody.

Thanks,
Jacob

 

Me too @Youngcoin. I thought I had one; but, no. One of these days. Definitely on my wish list!

 

I've got many very minor woodys but nothing as cool as this.


Thanks,
Jacob

 

I appreciate the Kuddo's! Thank You.

 

I have a dealer friend with a 1936 proof Buffalo Nickel that is wood grained. The worst possible coin to have it on due to the value of proof, and undesirable to someone that wants a nice proof. I will have to see if I can swing a deal on it because it is mind-blowing that they wouldn't pick a better planchet, but it must not have been noticeable until a little let the copper oxidize a bit.

 

@LaCointessa @Youngcoin I find nice woody's from the 70's and 80's nothing as nice as this one If I can remember to sit them off to the side I'll pm you and see if you want them.

 

You rang? @eric6794

 

lol I accidentally taged you 2 and hit enter. I edited my post.

 

Sure, I'd look at them, but I understand that the older ones before 1959 give a better presentation of the wood we all love.

 

I collect them no matter the year! But, tis true, the older ones have only had more time to present them selves.

 

Weak D, F-12 worn dies.

 

Is that a net grade? an Eac Grade, because the details of the coin posted fall into XF?

 

your right wheats do have a better wood grain look to them.

 

I'll take a look too thank you.

Thanks,
Jacob

 

It's Die #1 and you can see the die crack running from L in Pluribus through O in One.
