Lot 1084		1922 Lincoln Cent. No D. Strong reverse. PCGS graded AU-55 Brown. Nice chocolate brown color with ample remaioning luster. The desirable strong reverse shows major detail in the wheat ears, while the rims are quite choice as well, all serving to sustain the choice AU55 grade. Pop 36; 58 finer. (PCGS # 3285) . Once the discovery was made that despite mint reports no Philadelphia cents were struck in 1922, specimens seemed to be available. Later the riddle was solved: in the order to the Denver Mint to strike cents, that facility used the dies it had in stock already. When a 1922-D obverse die clashed, the clash marks were ground off the die, which also served to remove the mintmark. More were struck using one or the other of two different reverse dies. This more desirable reverse has strong detail; also, the obverse shows no trace of the mintmark. Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.
