The 1822 large cent had a solid mintage and is among the more available dates in the early Coronet Head period. After the semi-key 1821, the 1822 offers a return to relative accessibility. Examples in Good to Fine are available without extended searching, and the date does not carry a significant premium over other common Coronet Head years.
The coin is a standard mid-series issue that fills the collection without drama. Die varieties exist but none are famous enough to drive specialized demand. A problem-free Fine with original brown surfaces represents a well-chosen 1822.
