[QUOTE="Stevearino, post: 4317496, member: 74571"]Here you go, Jeff: I was about 11-12 years old. When I didn't have a hole for a 1922 "P" (no mint mark) I showed it to my dad who was a very novice collector (who, however, got my brother and I started on our life-long collecting hobby). He was puzzled, also, and just tossed it into the upper right-hand drawer of his desk. About 3 years later, when I was 14-15, I happened to be reading something about the 1922 plain cent. Something in the back of my mind made me think that is what perhaps I had found a few years earlier. I asked Dad if I could look into that "junk drawer." There it was, and it was a beauty, with an EF reverse, the strong. I wish I had a photo of that coin. I sold it to my father when I went to college; after his death 50 years later I sold his entire accumulation to settle the estate in order to divide it amongst the four of us children. Steve[/QUOTE]
