1922 Lincoln Cent. No D. NGC graded VF-25 Brown Strong Reverse. A very pleasing example of this popular 20th century variety.
Humorous anecdote: Commenting informally on the limited coinage of cents for 1922, Mint Director F. E. Scobey remarked: "There have been approximately $46,000,000 worth of pennies coined since the mint began in 1792, so what's the use of making more, when about the only things you can still buy with a penny nowadays are lollypops?".
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,100.
