Up for auction/sale is one of the most famous and desirable varieties in all of U.S. numismatics—a 1922 "No D" Lincoln Wheat Cent (Die Pair 3) in Very Good (VG) condition.

Struck at the Denver Mint during a year when no Philadelphia cents were produced, this fascinating variety occurred when over-polished and worn dies resulted in the complete absence of the "D" mint mark. Die Pair 3 is a recognized and sought-after die pair variety, distinguished by its unique die characteristics—including a weak, altered obverse paired with a strong reverse strike. Finding genuine, problem-free circulated examples with a clear, full date and no "D" trace is an incredible opportunity for key-date specialists, variety collectors, and registry set builders.
