1922 Plain. PCGS XF-40 Strong Reverse. 1922 Plain. PCGS XF-40 Strong Reverse.
Lot Title: 1922 Plain. PCGS XF-40 Strong Reverse.
Description: PCGS designates the true 1922-plain die as "strong reverse", which is characteristic of "die pair 2", the only die pairing worthy of a strong premium. This example features hair-thin planchet streaks that rain down across both sides of mahogany colored fields, producing a three-dimensional wood grain effect, and glimmers of neon-blue patina lurk around the rims and devices. Four tiny, erratic scratches appear just above the left side of the date and are the only detraction worthy of note.
Low Estimate: $1,750.00
High Estimate: $2,100.00

1922 Plain. PCGS VF-30.
