All 1922 cents came from Denver, but some dies were so over-polished that the D vanished entirely, creating the famous 'No D' variety. Distinguish it from the cheaper Weak D by checking whether the rest of the coin's details are equally mushy — on a true No D, the reverse is unusually sharp.

How to confirm it's genuine

  • The mint mark sits directly below the date — it should be the letter "D". A magnifier with light at a 45° angle works best.
  • Never clean the coin: cleaning destroys the original surface and can cut the value in half.
  • For any coin worth more than $200, PCGS/NGC grading fees (~$20–50) are money well spent.

Where to sell this coin

  • eBay works best in the $1.00$200 range. Take clear photos of both sides in natural light, and put the year, mint mark, and approximate grade in the title.
  • A local coin dealer is the fastest way to cash out, but expect 60–70% of guide prices. Best for selling common dates in bulk.
  • Graded high-value coins do best at auction houses like Heritage Auctions or Stack's Bowers, where realized prices are public.
