1922 D Lincoln Cent Mintmarks

Collectors need to be very cautious with this date due to the varying degrees of mintmark visibility on some dies. They must distinguish between 1922-D Cents with bold mintmarks, weak mintmarks, "ghost" mintmarks, and coins that appear to have no mintmark at all. The visibility of the mintmark directly affects the coin's value. Coins with visible mintmarks (strong or weak) carry the least premium. "Ghost" mintmarks, where the mintmark is barely visible, qualify as "Weak Mintmarks" and carry a nice premium. The "Plain" version, where the mintmark is absent, is the most valuable, especially the one with the strong reverse, which is the most desirable.
