All are tiny and none seem to be from you. Better send me an e-mail at the add'y previously posted in this thread. Ira |

Either die 1 or 3, not a true No D variety. It looks like you can see a bump where the D would be. Wes |

A Great BIG Thank you Ira and Wes.
I will put this in a 2x2 and label it as such. Worthless but a great conversation piece! Jim. "Ira" wrote in message ps.com... Hi Jim, It's a Die Pair 1 weak D. The faint D was buffed away and the coin recolored. The reverse has the tell tale: There's a straight Die crack from the rim thru the O of ONE. On the No D weak reverse, the Die crack jogs as a left tilted crack. On the weak Ds, far more plentiful, the D is more visible and the die crack is straight. Fraudsters fill the O of these with brown gunk to hide the crack entirely, a common alteration. Die pair 1 has a stronger rev. than the Die Pair 3, so it's an alteration that often deceives, even the old timers! Looks like a Gd-6 strong reverse Die Pair 2 except that the obverse is missing all the diagnostics of the true Die #2. I've seen two of these in PCI holders as 1922 No Ds with no mention of the die pair! So its worse than just a Die 1 with the faint D that PCGS grades as a No D "weak reverse." This one is an altered coin. http://members.aol.com/iras4/altered1922weakD.jpg Ira |

Thank you for the offer Dave.
This is such a great place, so many people willing to help. Jim "Dave Hinz" wrote in message ...

Jim, if you want webspace to post pics on, mail 'em to me and I'll put them up for you. I'm sure lots of folks would love to have a stab at this, and Ira and others have done a great job of educating us on the 1922. I'm _almost_ confident enough at this point where I think I could spot an obvious fake. My email address is real. Oh, anyone else wants something posted, that's a standing offer to the group. Little stuff doesn't cost me a thing. |

You could also donate to the ANA. This way you'd have a tax deduction
(ANA is a valid non-profit) and you could be sure it would never get into a collector's hands fraudulently. After all, when you pass on, who's to say that when your assets are dispersed, someone won't try to re-sell it as the real thing? Anyway, it's just a thought, Jim. Ira |

See if it warrants a slab? Jim I took a look. I'm not an expert, but that coin looks bad to me. The two's in the date look very different, like the coin was maybe altered from a 1932. But if Ira disagrees with me, I not only retract the above post but am prepared to deny under oath that I ever made it. :-) Bruce (Anybody else care to guess before Ira tells us?) Without seeing Ira's reply, I'll say it's an altered 1933P. Mark |
