1922 no D - TYPE 3 Discussion

[Wheat Cents]

Talked to several dealers at CSNS about the fairly recent rise in the value of 1922 no D type 3's.

I feel it is in repsonse to demand of Lincoln Keys and simply due to the rise in price of its older sibling and people are "filling holes" using clogged die 22Ds..

As recently as a couple years ago would see nice type 3s at reasonable price considering what it is. Maybe a sign like the 1924-D more people are getting into Lincolns ? or ... more likely ... dealers are building some type/any type of inventory on "keys" in anticipation of collector interest?

Hope it is an indication things are heating up for the hobby. ... ( Of course just at the same time the US economy is not )

I agree. The price of 1922 no 3 die 1 and 3 have been rising rapidly. I'm glad that I complete my set of all the die pairs because now the prices are unreal.

Got mine a long while back and glad I did. However, if you were to buy them today you'd still be OK. I am convinced they will be plusing ++ for the foreseeable future..

It is just that type 3 had caught me by surprise. Have several and could not believe the price listed on page 35 of the April 1 Numismatic News. That prompted this thread post..
