Auction Record

Description

Produced at the Denver Mint, the 1922 (D) Lincoln Wheat Cent - No D Strong Reverse is part of the Lincoln Wheat Cents 1909-1958 series. Denver's 1922 cents numbered 7.2 million in all, every die state included; how many are No D coins from the strong-reverse die pair is not recorded. The obverse features Abraham Lincoln facing right, the first real person depicted on a U.S. circulating coin and the reverse displays two wheat stalks framing ONE CENT, symbolizing American agriculture. The 1922 "No D" variety, usually put down to worn, filled or heavily abraded Denver dies (the cause is not settled), is one of the most sought-after Lincoln Cent errors. Coined at Denver's facility, which transitioned from processing Colorado gold rush metal to full-scale coin production in 1906. Struck in 95% copper, 5% tin and zinc, weighing 3.11 grams, 19.05 mm in diameter, with a plain edge. Cataloged as PCGS #3285.
