Message:: [QUOTE="paland, post: 295549, member: 10011"]I agree with the other poster above that says that Die #2 us the only one worth $500+ as the other 3 dies are the source of the "Weak D" and start at about $50 for a G4. I have found that 80% of "No D's" on ebay are actually "Weak D's" and are thus overvalued. There will be many ****ed off buyers when they try to sell their 1922 "No D".  The following site has this usefull info: <a href="http://www.lincolncentresource.com/1922Ddievarieties.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.lincolncentresource.com/1922Ddievarieties.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.lincolncentresource.com/1922Ddievarieties.html</a> All 1922 weak D or No D coins fall into one of 7 categories:1.        Die Pair #1  Weak D  (Weak Reverse)2.        Die Pair #1  No D (Weak Reverse)3.        Die Pair #2  No D  (Strong Reverse) also called 1922 Plain4.        Die Pair #3  Weak D (Weak Reverse)5.        Die Pair #3  No D (Weak Reverse)6.        Die Pair #4  Weak D (Weak Reverse)7.        Die Pair #4  No D (Weak Reverse)  Below is an explanation of how to classify the four Die Pairs: Die Pair #1:• The easiest way to classify Die Pair #1 is the Jogging Die Crack running from L in Pluribus through O in One. However, this die crack is not always present. Also, be aware that there exists a 1922 D variety with a straight die crack in the same location. • The second 2 in date is weaker than the first 2.• The first T in Trust is more distinct than the other letters. Furthermore, the T, U, and T in TRUST are stronger than the R and S. • WE is very mushy.• Reverse is very weak, usually with no lines in the wheat ears.• Mintmark ranges from Weak to No D. Die Pair #2:• Absolutely no trace of a D• Second 2 in date is sharper than the first 2.• All letters in TRUST are sharp.• WE is only slightly mushy.• L in LIBERTY butts up against the rim.• Reverse is sharp with nice wheat lines. Die pair #3:• Second 2 in date is weaker than first 2.• TRUST is weak but sharper than IN GOD WE.• L in LIBERTY butts up against the rim.• The reverse is slightly rotated counterclockwise• Reverse is weak -- lower left part of O in ONE begins to spread into the field as the die deteriotates. Reverse looks "wavy"• Mintmark ranges from Weak to No D. Die Pair #4"The front of Lincoln's coat from about 4 o'clock to 5 o'clock appears to merge into the rim whereas Dies 1-3 all have aregular pronounced gap between the coat and rim. This merging is responsible for Die 4's nickname, "coattails." The reverse is noted for its weak high point detail, similar to Die 1 and Die 3." - Andrew Vickery ANACS Grader[/QUOTE]
