1910 d but

[pennies4pennies]

I found this one today and thought wow a 1910D but!!!!!! It hit me there was no 1910D. Denver didn't start untill 1911. So I guess this might be a 1916D.It sure does look like a 1910. I know the coin is very worn but it sure looks like it could of been a DDO. By looking on how wide the letters are.

I would say it is a 1910 S. From what I can see anyway. It does look like a 1910 D though, which is improbable.

I would say 1910S VERY outside chance a test strike of a 1910 D but i doubt that it would make it around so long IF in fact they did that and they did get out. kinda like the 1913 Liberty nickels hand few would be made and Im sure they would be known. 1910S isnt a bad mint to find.

It's a D forsure. But still not sure about the date. It looks like a 1910. Here is a couple more pictures of the MM.

That's a toughie, can't be 1910D (as stated), maybe 1916D or somehow a 1910S?

[pennies4pennies]

After looking at a 1910 and a 1916 I see the 1 on a 1910 is higher then the 0 and in the picture you can see that the 1 is not higher then the 0. So this has to be a 1916D. BOOHOO. That would of been a find of the century. Oh well I got more to go threw.

The coin is well worn, and the last digit is indistinguishible. I would suggest looking at the shoulder to see if VDB is there. If it is, then it would be a 1918-D. If it isn't, it would be a 1916-D.

It is possible that it may be a test and someone took it home as a souvineer... Wish I could remember how to spell... LOL... Is it possible the mint would have a record on if there were test strikes for that LC???!!!

the 2nd picture in the 2nd set of pics shows in my eyes 1916D. but yeah in the begining I thought 1910D or at the very least 1910S. Nice find.

That is definitely a Zero on the end and definitely a D. I kept going back and forth between the thumbnail and zoom thumbnail and it might be a 1940-D struck through grease. The 4 could be tilted to the left a bit which would explain how it could look like a doubled die. That would be cool if it were a tested coin that escaped the mint somehow. I would definitely have someone with expertise knowledge look at this in person.

Let us apply a bit of logic. If it were by chance a 1910-D, there would have been somewhere in the neighborhood of 500,000 made or the normal production run for a working die in those days. Even if a 1910 working die had a D mint mark applied and it was caught after the working die was put into production, there would still be more than just one of these anomalies floating around.

Bill Fivas, well known error and variety specialist, has maintained over the years that he has found 1910 proof Lincoln with V.D.B. on the reverse. He has submitted his coins to both NGC and PCGS for verification and neither of those companies will commit to any type of authenticity concerning the V.D.B. on the reverse. These coins are in excellent condition and yet, they are questioned to being real. Can this have happened? Bill believes so and I can go along with his theory of how it could be possible

So how does this apply to this situation? You can imagine all you want and who knows, it may be a 1910-D, BUT the condition of the coin will never be conducive to establishing the validity of the find. In other words, the coin is at a maximum grade of AG-3 and in that condition, all that can be established is that it is a Lincoln cent.

It's not a zero. The top of the zero does not go that high relative to the top of the one next to it. (In my most humble rookie observation.)

I believe it's a 1916-d.

[Cdiddle]

I agree with you duck620.
