Up for auction/sale is the undisputed king of Lincoln cent circulation varieties—an authentic 1922 "No D" Lincoln Wheat Cent in acceptable About Good 3 (AG 3) condition, explicitly attributed as Die Pair #3 featuring a completely missing "D" mint mark and a distinct counterclockwise rotated reverse!

Struck at the Denver Mint in 1922 during a year when Denver was the only mint producing cents (and the Philadelphia Mint struck zero cents), production issues involving worn dies, over-polishing, and grease-filled mint mark punches resulted in the legendary 1922 "No D" (or weak D) varieties. This specimen represents Die Pair #3 (often associated with the classic weak/no D look and a characteristic counterclockwise die rotation on the reverse). While showing honest, heavy circulation wear commensurate with an AG 3 grade, the key diagnostic markers are present, making this an essential, highly sought-after acquisition for any advanced collector completing a rare Lincoln cent collection.
