A Unique Denver Mint Issue – The 1922-D Lincoln Cent was the only cent produced that year, as the Philadelphia and San Francisco Mints did not strike pennies in 1922.
The Famed “No D” Variety – Some 1922-D cents lack the “D” mintmark due to die wear and over-polishing, making these highly sought after by collectors.
Mintage Figures – A total of 7,160,000 Lincoln cents were minted in Denver, but surviving high-quality examples are scarce due to circulation wear.
Value and Pricing – Prices range from $30–$100 for well-worn circulated examples to $10,000+ for a high-grade “No D” variety in MS condition.
Grading and Authentication – Professional grading (PCGS, NGC) is recommended for authentication, especially for the “No D” variety, as counterfeits exist.
Investment Potential – Due to its rarity and historical significance, the 1922-D Lincoln Cent—especially the “No D” variety—is considered a blue-chip investment for collectors.
How to Spot Counterfeits – Some fake “No D” cents are altered 1922-D coins with removed mintmarks, so weight, die characteristics, and professional verification are key.
Where to Buy and Sell – Found at major coin auctions, online marketplaces (eBay, Heritage Auctions), coin dealers, and collector forums.
