Altered 1922 "No D" Die Variety

I suspect that with the newer , less expensive computer controlled milling machines we will see more of these in short time. Once they figure how to blend the fresh copper surface into 100 year old copper surface, many will fall prey. IMO, Jim

I noticed that too right away. I had a real nice 22 strong reverse in my old Lincoln set. Unfortunately I needed to sell it to come up with money for my retirement house. If I live long enough I may try to put together a nice Lincoln set.

 

Why, Should they simply throw it away

 

Would you resell it? I've been the unfortunate recipient of a few because I didn't know any better and I still have them and I will not try to pass them off to someone else who doesn't know any better. I'm grateful for the posts that show the doctored coins and the ones that I have are now target practice.

 

I bought my coin knowing that it is an altered coin so I could study and understand it more. And I like curio coins. I would only sell it to a person that I trusted not to do nefarious things with it, as my coin dealer did for me.

 

I would do the same for the same reasons depending on the price, however I don't believe that all the people that were taken advantage of by nefarious sellers would do the same. I'm sure you see the differences in the people who are collectors and those who think there's untold wealth in numismatics. The coin shown is a valuable lesson. Thank you!

 

This site has been a tremendous help to me.

 

You got that backwards. On a true 22 No D, the 2nd 2 should be stronger.

 

here is a 1959-D nickel that someone tried to convert into a 1950-D.

 

The famous micro 0 variety. It should sell on Etsy for $20000.

 

That's sure noticeable.

 

Here is my altered 1950-D (which was a 1959-D) which also has a "D mintmark in neck" error. (Relax. It is merely a case of pareidolia.)

 

I se it! I see it!
