1922 No D Lincoln Cent. FS-401, Die Pair II. Strong Reverse. MS-62 BN (PCGS). A second outstanding Uncirculated survivor of the popular and conditionally challenged 1922 No D cent.

Sharply defined throughout the reverse, with beautiful tobacco-brown patina blanketing both sides. Uncommonly smooth for the assigned grade, this premium quality example would serve as a highlight in an advanced Lincoln cent or variety collection.<p>Typically offered in circulated grades, multiple bidding opportunities in the same sale for Mint State 1922 No D cents of the desirable FS-401 attribution are few and far between in todays market. This BU example provides a second chance for those bidders that fail to secure the Red and Brown coin in the preceding lot. This is a rare example in its own right, of course, and given its superior quality and eye appeal for the assigned grade will also require an aggressive bidding strategy to secure.
