1922 Lincoln 1C. No D. Strong Reverse NGC AU58 BR
1922 Lincoln Cent. No D. Strong reverse. NGC graded AU-58 Brown. Examples of this die pair are much more desirable than their weaker counterparts from Die Pairs One and Three. Die Pair Two was created when a pair of normal 1922-D dies clashed. The reverse die was discarded, but the obverse die was polished before being returned to the coinage press with a new reverse die. The staff at the Denver Mint apparently failed to notice that the polishing, while successfully removing evidence of the die clashing, also removed the D mintmark from the obverse die. All coins struck from this die pair display soft definition on the obverse and bold detail on the reverse, which the present example is no exception to this rule. The surfaces display smooth, glossy, variegated brown patina that is free of noteworthy abrasions and carbon flecks. A problem-free example for the grade and worthy of a strong bid (PCGS # 3287) .
Estimated Value $5,500 - 6,000.
