Seeing as how it was slabbed around 8-10 years ago, and that PCGS is market grading everything, it's probably AU50 now.

Looks like there's too much wear for anything above VF. From what I can see I would grade it a low end VF.

The ANACS photo cert is old, but the PCGS slab is 5-6 yrs old. 1998 I seem to recall. I got this coin for $220. I bought my 1972 DDO raw with this coin for $280. It was later graded 65 red.
Good comment though smed! Thanks! I wish it was a 50!
The coin is difficult to photograph due to the color. The obverse is difficult to see and comprehend, even with a scope. Someone at the mint must have been asleep when these were made. Today a coin like this would have been trashed.

The problem with the Obverse was NOT of the Mint worker falling asleep. He was working to hard wearing the die down over cleaning it with a steel brush!  Of course over using the die didn't help also.

none of the above...
1922 cents are problematic because the master dies and hubs were way overused, nothing more than that.

Dec 15 Coin World has an article on a 22-plain cent found in a "take a penny (sic) / leave a penny (sic)" dish in Nebraska in November.
It's a #2 die pair, and the finder sold it to a dealer for $520.
I guess good coins can still be found. Do you guys think that was an intentional "plant" or an honest rare coin find?

It sounds like a lucky rare coin find to me.
