Up for auction/sale is a highly sought-after key date of the series—a 1922-D Lincoln Wheat Cent in Very Fine Plus (VF+) condition.

Struck at the Denver Mint with a low mintage of 7,160,000 pieces, the 1922-D holds a special place in numismatics as the only official regular-strike cent produced by the U.S. Mint in 1922 (no cents were struck in Philadelphia or San Francisco that year). Finding choice circulated examples with bold portrait detail, clean surfaces, a sharp date and "D" mint mark, and a rich, problem-free chocolate patina is becoming increasingly difficult. This specimen offers great eye appeal, crisp high-point detail, and smooth fields—making it a standout addition to any Lincoln album, Dansco setup, or key-date copper collection.
