<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dimeguy, post: 7597870, member: 19855&quot;]So, last month I purchased a 1922 D cent. I am not going to collect the different varieties of the 1922 cent, but for fun I would like to learn how to distinguish the die pairing. I have been looking at Lincolncentresource.com (Love that site!) and they provide good characteristics for the die pairing, but not necessarily pictures of everything they are describing. Being as I have never looked into die pairings, VAMs or the likes, it feels a bit overwhelming trying to coordinate all of the diagnostics into distinguishing which one is attributed to my coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>First question: does anyone have another reference site with pictures for distinguishing die pairs?</p><p><br /></p><p>Second: how does one attribute these pairings with wear on the coin as mine is an XF? I am fairly certain it is a weak D, but when the site says that some wheat lines will blend and be less distinguish, I sort of expect as much from an XF wheat cent, so how does one tell the difference? </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance for any reference pictures or materials. Forgive me for not posting my &#039;22 D here. I don&#039;t want members replying with &quot;clearly it is this die pair,&quot; because that does me no good in the learning process and sort of takes the fun away from me, but if it would help with the discussion I&#039;ll be more than willing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
