$920 		1922 No D, Strong Reverse, Dark Chocolate Brown Patina, Newtown Collection. The 1922 No D Lincoln is a major series die variety, popular with collectors, and commands a substantial premium. It is the only Lincoln circulation strike that lacks its intended mint mark. The suggested story as to the missing D mint mark relates to obverse die polishing. One can easily see that the first 2 in the date is much weaker than the second 2 digit. All obverse dies are are in shallow relief due to the polishing while the reverse motifs are big and bold. Grading is accomplished via the reverse. This new example features a dark chocolate-brown skin and is minimally abraded. Housed in NGC Gen 7 (1997-2000) holder. December 1969
