I do believe this is a 1971 d,ddo i'll get a clearer picture of the split/notched serif of the "L" for you
Thank you. However, I don't see any markers listed; only photos of different areas of doubling on the coin. While I've not checked, CONECA likely has the markers listed for FS102. I believe Non-Cents is speaking only of the 97-D. Also, on an 09, VDB should not be present on the bust.
The mint mark is in the wrong place on the '09-s. If it is an '09 at all, it's 100% not the S over horizontal S. http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=1909&die_id=1909s1mm002&die_state=mds See how far the mint mark is away from the date. I say thank you too for trying to get it right.
