<B>1922 No D 1C Strong Reverse MS62 Brown PCGS.</B></I> Die Pair #2. For most dates in the Lincoln cent series, the appearance of a coin without a mintmark is little surprise; after all, the main Mint at Philadelphia does not use a mintmark. This rule, like many others in numismatics, has its exception: the cents of 1922 that lack a mintmark were not struck at Philadelphia, but rather at Denver. Three die pairs have been associated with this phenomenon, and while all command some level of premium, Die Pair #2, the Strong Reverse variant, is the most coveted.<BR> On this rosewood and violet example, subtle pumpkin accents visit the luminous fields. The obverse shows poor definition as always, but the boldly impressed reverse leaves no doubt as to this coin's desirability. Though a number of wispy abrasions on each side preclude a finer grade, the overall visual appeal is excellent.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Victor D.
