I just about jumped out of my seat when I saw the 1922 date. But I looked closer and saw the "D". Oh well, still feel pretty good about it.

Still a great find even with the D. Congrats.

picture or it didn't happen
Bully!

I've got the picture but I don't know how to get it on here, says file too big.

Nice find! Strong D or weak D? There are 3 varieties! Since it has a D we know its not the type 2.

What a great early Christmas present from the copper Santa! Congratulations on an amazing find!

Way to go

I don't know if it is considered a weak D. I will have it looked at and report since I'm not a coin expert. Thanks all!

Congratulations

Here you go. Thanks for emailing me photos so I could post for you.

Awesome find!

I found one myself but that was way back when I was doing $300-$400 face a week! So the odds of finding a better date were a little in my favor!

Keep posting those finds!

Thanks for doing that for me HenrysMedford! I went down to the local coin store today and found out that it is only worth about $16.00. Oh well, maybe the next one I find won't have the D, lol!

Wonder if they would trade a SAE even up for it? Would it be worth the trade?

I wouldn't trade that wheat for an ASE.

One of the other members said strong or weak D. Can anyone tell me where you find a book on all the varieties of pennies. Is there one book that stands out above the rest. Also, since a picture was not included, does anyone know the maximum size allowed?

That's a Great find! Since you said you found it I take it to mean "in the wild", so for a 1c investment a $16 return is always welcomed! Happy New Year!

I found this group awhile ago in one of five bags I got when dumping pennies at a bank. See story here.

This group was in one of the bags with 70% copper.

I thought about getting the 22-D graded but wasn't sure if it was worth it or how to go about doing it. Probably my best find sorting.

Where did the 1922-D come from? Was it in a box of $25 of pennies from a bank? Did you get it in change while buying something? Or was it something altogether different?

You have to read the linked topic. I was dumping coins at a different branch from my pickup and they said someone came in with about $350 in pennies. I asked if I could buy the bags and I only had $200 on me at the time. They said yes and loaded some bags on a two wheeler. I took them to the truck but they put 5 bags on the two wheeler so I had to withdraw another $50. I took them home and sorted and averaged over 70% copper. One bag was lower and I figured it was partially full when that person came in with the $350 of pennies. The group of 5 shown in the pictures was from one of the 5 bags. In hindsight I should have taken all 7 bags at the time.

Thanks.

coin grats on that '22 D...any 22 is a nice find.

I found one a few years back with no mint mark.

That is the most expensive and rarest variety!

ALL 1922's are suppose to have the D mint mark.

There are 3 varieties with the Type 2 (no D) being worth by far the most.

To find a 22D in any condition these days is still something quite remarkable. Where has this cent been for the past 95+ years? I wouldn't sell or trade it either. It's a testimony that there are still some worthwhile coppers to be found in the most unlikely of places. If it was larger, I'd consider mounting it on the wall. LOL!
