Message:: [QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 7598050, member: 105098"]Not sure of your question really or exactly how to answer. I feel like there might be some confusion on what is being kept track of for the 1922-D lincoln cent. There were many, many dies that made 1922 D cents that year. there were 4 die pairs that have been identified as showing a Weak D to a no trace of a D over the course of that years mintage out of all of them due to the wear of the Die and how strong the D was in the first place. DIE PAIR 1, 2, 3, 4 is for cents that shows no D mint mark.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) all the other die pairs don't matter and aren't tracked, only those 4 that produced the "No D" 1922D cents. it's a different die pair outside of these cataloged 4 pairs that stuck weak and No D 1922s. if you bought a 1922-D with a  D on it, it's not a weak D or a No D, and it's not one of the 4 identified die pairs that did make "No D" 1922 cents, the early die stage is the weak D.[/QUOTE]
