Date this cent?

Circulation find. I can see a D mint mark. Opinions on the rest of the date? Just curious and looking for opinions.

At first thought 1910-D, but there wasn't a D for that year. 1918?

I wouldn't date her. Looks like she gets around.....

Maybe a '13?

 

Sure is a tough one. I think I keep seeing a backward 3 on the last number. That kind of makes me thing it is an 18. Really tough call haha.

 

ha! I'll stay far away from here.


'13 is a good guess, but I counter that by saying that in looking at pics of '13-D cents, the bottom loop of the 3 extends slightly below the 1. On this cent, they look about equal

 

'18 is prob the best guess.

Just trying to compare them and there seems like more space between the 1 and the 8 than on my cent...unless that's just damage from the 1 making it appear closer to the "8"

 

Last shot of it looks like a '16

 

Some different lighting, software editing

 

The D and the tail of the 9 seem to overlap much more than on the 1918D shown in post #5.

 

Overlap is more like this 1919 D...

 

1913D...

 

1916D

 

1918D

 

I'd go with 1913D.

 

Since nobody's guess 1915 yet, I throw that into the mix. Of those MS coins shown, the spacing between the 9 and 2nd 1 looks most like 1918. Is there a VDB under the shoulder?

 

1918.

 

I can't tell. Here's a cropped zoom from Above overall pic. Will need to wait til mon to look under the scope.

I'm leaning 18-D
