1922 no "D"? 1 1

[FairTradeAct_1935]

Hey peeps I have the day off, no kid, no old lady and screw the house work (until tomorrow..lol). Any ways I was sifting through some old coins I picked up many, many moons ago in VA at a old yard/barn sale and I notice this a 1922/no D? I been soaking the coin in olive oil hoping for the heavy tarnish material falls off. I notice heavy damage/corrosion to the coin. So I took some photos of it under a electric microscope. What does the community think?

 With coin so worn and corroded it is hard to see any of the markers for a no "D". I think I see what might be a sign of a weak "D" but again I can't be positive.

I focused on that area as well and I couldn't find any "grinding marks" then again maybe I missed something and you spotted something. Unfortunately the heavy corrosion is terrible and I am not sure If NGC or any TPG will take a chance and certify it. The electron scope was around 70% magnification any more and the photos get blurry. Thanks for the input.

There would be no grinding marks on a weak D. It was minted (overpolished?) with a very shallow D thus the variety known as a "Weak D"

Ahhhh good look! Now I understand what you’re saying. I might send it out for verification. Thanks

The date looks correct but I would need to see more of the coin in hand to id the die pair.  Given the condition I'd send it to ANACS for verification purposes as its less expensive, even if its the desirable die pair #2 the environmental damage limits the value.

Actually I never thought about that. I only go through NGC when it comes to TPG. I checked out ANACS and they seem legit and extremely fair in price. Again thanks for the input and help, much respect!!!

It has potential.  As mentioned the date looks right and the reverse looks like it would be the strong rev for die pair 2.  But I couldn't gurantee anything from the pictures.
