1922-D Lincoln Wheat Cent F/VF Condition

The 1922-D Lincoln Wheat Cent remains one of the more collectible early-date Lincoln cents from the Wheat Penny series. Struck at the Denver Mint during a time of heavy circulation demand, the 1922-D issue carries a reported mintage of just 7,160,000 coins, making it a notably lower mintage release compared to many other Wheat Cents from the era.

This example is offered in approximately Fine to Very Fine (F/VF) condition, displaying moderate circulation wear while still retaining visible details throughout Lincoln’s portrait and the reverse wheat ears. The date and major design elements remain clearly identifiable, making this a solid addition for collectors building vintage Lincoln Cent collections.

Historic Lincoln Wheat Cent Design

The obverse features Victor David Brenner’s iconic portrait of Abraham Lincoln, first introduced in 1909 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Lincoln’s birth. Surrounding inscriptions include “In God We Trust,” “Liberty,” and the 1922 date with the Denver “D” mintmark.

The reverse showcases the classic Wheat Ears design used from 1909 through 1958, with the inscriptions “One Cent” and “United States of America” framed by two wheat stalks.

Popular Early Wheat Cent Issue
