Looks MS62 BN to me, but PCGC would probably call it an AU58.

 

MS62 RB to me

 

MS61BN

 

This coin is a toughie the obverse EDS is a very struck and the reverse is LDS. If it weren't for the Obverse I would think AU58 but the Obverse does not show any wear that I can see in this photo with a little mark on Lincoln's Upper Check which looks like a bag mark to me. I think BN MS63. Reverse strike drags this coin down.

 

^ I was thinking exactly everything he said ^
I'll go 64BN

 

I bet the brown looks smoother in hand. Hardly a hit on it that I can see, often seen weak reverse.

63BN

 

Too tough for me! Looks like the coin is cockeyed in the slab and makes it really hard to get a good picture.

 

63 BN

 

MS 64 BN

 

58 BN

 

I love the detail in Lincoln's hair, it is so crisp and clear. I would say it is MS-63 BN.

 

I'll guess 65. Love the beard.

 

FYI here is an MS65;

 

What a 1922 Strong Reverse Die 2?

 

Die #2 is a STRONG reverse. It has full wheats. That is Dies #3.

 

MS 64

 

63 BN weak strike

 

64 BN, better reverse than most; full bow tie

 

Guess I missed something was referencing http://lincolncentresource.com/1922Ddievarieties.html Website
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.

I was just guessing as could not see the Obverse or know if that was a Mushy O (of the One) the Reverse (Die 3) but did notice the Grade and think this is Market Grading at its best

Still think your 1916D is very nice.
