Rick621 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Picked up several coins at an estate sale and this was included. Doesn't look quite right to me. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hinkle Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 During 1922, the Lincoln cent was only struck at Denver mint. I'm going with James as a struck through grease die. It looks real, and possibly would pass as a no "D" Lincoln cent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VKurtB Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 This is what I would expect a 1922 No D to look like. If the obverse were sharply struck, the D would be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coinbuf Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 The coin looks like it could be an authentic 1922 no D strong reverse, most of the markers are there. However, I do not like the word TRUST on the obv, it should be much sharper than it appears in the photo. And the color and surface both look wrong, which might be the photos, but because of those three things I would consider this a fake until it can be proven legit.

I can’t even begin to include color into my analysis because of the magenta background and what is very likely auto white balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptHenway Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I do have some 1922-D cents with a very weak "TRUST," but I have never seen a genuine Die Pair #2 that looks like this. Can you please email me the images you have? Send to CapHenway(at)AOL.com James Zyskowski and Coinbuf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J P M Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I keep looking at the rim and it has the same look as the fields and that bothers me. Like someone sand blasted it to cover up or hide something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick621 Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 Thanks for all your input but my son said the only way to find out for sure is to send it in. Just got back from the Post Office and it's on it's way. I sent it with five other coins that I was sending anyway...so now begins the waiting period. Thanks again for everyone's input.
