<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikem2000, post: 1366757, member: 30574&quot;]You should definitely get the &#039;22 slabbed.&nbsp; In addition to authenticating it, it needs to be confirmed as the No D Strong reverse.&nbsp; There are some &#039;22&#039;s that have very weak D , it is so weak, that in the case of a worn coin it can wear away completely. Even on a BU coin you may need a loupe to see it. These coins were the result of gease filled mint marks and are not considered true &#039;22 plain.</p><p>The true &#039;22 No D&#039;s only comes from Die Pair #2.&nbsp; On this die pair the D was completely removed after a die clash and a repair job by a mint worker.&nbsp; It was also paired with a relatively good, non-worn reverse, hence the term, NO D Strong Reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>The good news is your coin, IMHO came from die pair 2.&nbsp; Notices the L in Liberty, how it buts up against he rim.&nbsp; See how the 2&#039;nd 2 in the date is sharper then the first 2.&nbsp; All the letters in Trust are sharp, especially notice the R.&nbsp; The Obverse looks like a perfect match for die pair 2.&nbsp; One the reverse, notice that the O in Of is sharp, also the grains of wheat are distinct.&nbsp; This is not true of the other die parings, that have the so called &quot;weak reverse&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>You may be correct about the grade also.&nbsp; It may do a bit better than F like I had mentioned.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now what happens if the TPGs&#039; decides that any of the coins are improperly cleaned or have another problem.&nbsp; They will still slab them in a Genuine\Details holder depending on which TPG you send it to.&nbsp; In this case they will at least be authenticated and will command a higher price than raw IMHO. Of course there is a cost to this, and while the coin will sell for more, on the coins other than the &#039;22, the cost of slabbing may be higher than&nbsp; any extra cash the coin may bring in.&nbsp; I would still slab them though and hope for a clean grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course if the coin is determined to not be authentic, they will not slab it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
