1922 Lincoln Cent, Wheat (1909-1958)

Intriguing History

Since Philadelphia struck no cents at all in 1922, every genuine 1922 cent came from Denver -- but a worn, clogged die left some coins with no visible mintmark whatsoever, creating the famous 1922 "No D" cent, a variety so sought-after that fakes altering genuine 1922-D cents have circulated for decades.
