I bought an old Whitman Bookshelf album and this was the coin in the 1922-D slot. I looked up the diagnostics for the weak D varieties and this seems to match on the die pairing #3. Granted, I did get the coin in the cardboard flip slightly off plumb, but I still say the counter clockwise rotation on the reverse is apparent. Can anyone offer their insight?
This is challenging, but I don’t think it is a weak D. Yes, the reverse is wavy. But the O in ONE is fine. All of IGWT looks about the same to me - but I don’t know the degree of deterioration they expect to see. Yes, the L in LIBERTY is against the rim, or is it just pretty close? The die looks appropriately rotated - but how many degrees is expected? The D itself looks like it could simply be smashed post-strike, but then again, maybe it’s one stage of the die deterioration. Hmmm….
