	1922, PLAIN, LINCOLN CENT « on: February 17, 2009, 02:52:36 pm »

A number of years ago, I was metal detecting in an old small town park. I had found quite a few coins when a young boy rode up on his bicycle and asked how I was doing. We talked for awhile and he said " I've got some coins in a tobacco can at home. Do you want to see them?". I said OK and he was back in a minute with the coins. He told me that he would trade me some for some of my found coins. At that time, I wasn't very knowledgeable about coins and wasn't sure what I lacked or what I was even looking for. He dumped them out on a picnic table. I began looking through his coins and noticed a 1922 Lincoln cent. We traded a few coins, back and forth. The 1922 rang a bell with me but I didn't realize what it was until I got home and looked it up in a coin magazine. After examining it I noticed that it didn't have a "D" on it. I felt kind of guilty about it, later, but, truthfully, I didn't know what I had and had no idea who the kid was.
My digital camera didn't show the true copper color of the coin.

Very cool! Have you determined what die state it is?

As taken from the below site:

Currently, experts recognize four die states for the 1922-D:

1922-D with full mint mark: A semi-key date that was struck with new dies.

1922 Weak D: The dies where overworked, but not as overused as the dies that create the No D.

1922 No D Weak Reverse: The obverse and reverse where struck with overused dies.

1922 No D Strong Reverse: The obverse was struck with an overused die and the obverse with a new die.

Obviously it would be one of the latter two.

Thanks for the look!
