also on the 22d missing d penny. how do you know its a missing d? is there a slight d on there? wouldnt a missing d make it a p?

It would take too long to list all the key dates for all the different series, what you need is to find a reference book such as A Guidebook of United States Coins by R S Yeoman (The Redbook)

 

On the 22 cent we know it is a missing D because Philadelphia and San Francisco did not strike cents that year, only Denver.

also on the 22d missing d penny. how do you know its a missing d? is there a slight d on there? wouldnt a missing d make it a p?

 

As Condor said, we know that the Philadelphia and San Francisco mints did not produce any cents in 1922 from the mint records. The Denver mint produced its coins from the dies it had available. According to the late Tom Lacey, a dealer who specialized in early 20th century modern coins, the Denver mint was forced to use worn out dies because the Philadelphia mint was "straight out" making dies for the large number of Peace Dollars that the Pittman Act authorized. For many years the Philadelphia mint produced all of the coinage dies for the U.S. mint system.

 

The Denver mint pushed the cent dies that were on hand to the limit. As a result the "D" mint mark was either filled or polished off on three die pairs. The only 1922 Plain that the major grading services recognize is the die pair with the strong reverse die. This coin can be graded by the reverse because it was essentially "normal" with all of the detail struck up. The other two varieties of the 1922 Plain cent are very mushy coins that must be graded by the surfaces for the most part.

 

It must be emphasized that the 1922 Plain cents are NOT die varieties. They are die states of varieties. The same situation applies to the 1937-D three leg Buffalo nickel.

 

There are 1922 cents have a partial or "broken D." In the case the "D" shows up as a poor letter that might be visible only from certain angles. These coins are worth a lot less than the true "no D" die states.

 

Oddly enough, back circa 1987 when slabs were first going into numismatic circulation, I saw a "broken D" 1922 cent in "1922 Plain" PCGS rattle slab. When you held the coin with top pointed toward the light, you could see the "D bump" with a hole in the center. This coin was not a true 1922 Plain and should not have been certified as such. I was pretty cynical about slabs then, and that misattributed coin added to my cynicism.
