1922-D (No D) Lincoln Cent

All Lincoln Cents minted in 1922 came from the Denver Mint, but a few of them are "Plain", that is, they're missing the "D" mintmark.

Most researchers believe the 1922-D "No D" cent occurred as a result of a damaged die. In the process of repairing the die, the “D” was obliterated, which caused the location on the coin to be blank where the mintmark should have been stamped.

Since that time, the 1922-D "No D" cent has been not only a favorite of Lincoln Cent fans, but a desirable acquisition for rare coin collectors of all stripes. The "strong" reverse classification is the preferred option.
