1922-D One Cent MS RD
Details
The 1922-D Lincoln cent was the only regular-issue one-cent coin issued in 1922, a year notable for Philadelphia and San Francisco being absent from the penny-making scene. Only 7,160,000 Lincoln cents were made, a small but significant portion of these being the 1922 no D cent struck from a repaired die missing its D mintmark. Another sizable segment of the 1922 one-cent mintage includes coins with weak D mintmarks, coins that also actively collected.
Obverse: Bust of Abraham Lincoln framed by IN GOD WE TRUST on the top periphery. The word LIBERTY to the left of the portrait and the date and mintmark (If any) positioned on the right side.
Reverse: Wheat ears flanking the words ONE CENT, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM on the top perimeter.
