How can you tell if a wheat penny is from Denver if there is no D mintmark?

Lincoln cents have their mintmark, if any, just below the date. All such cents minted in Denver would have a "D" mintmark - with one exception. In 1922, pennies were produced only in Denver, so all such coins should have a "D" mintmark. The pennies produced that year, however, were often weakly struck; furthermore, oil or other detrius filled the mintmark on the die from time to time, causing the the mintmark on the struck coin to get weaker, and at later stages to disappear entirely.
