<p>[QUOTE="funnycoins, post: 3566043, member: 103887"][USER=104056]@Nano meza[/USER] From the very weak LDS reverse and ;likewise the late die stage punch on the obverse by definition makes it a 1922 weak D with a huge die crack(looks like the die pair was about tp blow)or PMD but a Weak D nonetheless! "All 1922 Lincoln Wheat Cents (Pennies) were minted at the Denver Mint and should have received a "D" mint mark. An issue arises at the Denver Mint where the coin dies used to strike coins were being overworked and overused. Some coins would receive a weak "D" mint mark and in some very rare cases the mint mark would be completely missing. The rest of the coin features would have a weaker strike as well since the dies were so worn out. The "No D" variety is the rarest and most valuable. The penny is automatically classified as a "Weak D" variety if there are any traces of the "D" mint mark. Some coins will have a "Strong Reverse" or a "Strong Obverse" which means that the worn out dies were just replaced with new ones."[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
