Kind of looks more like a 1919D...

 

I see the Lamination on the Obverse
I don't see any doubling. Just wear due to decades of the Cent being in circulation.

I think it's 1919

 

I thought so to but I pulled out my book compared both , was tough to distinguish .. then I zoomed my pic in and out just above the mess is what looked like another 0 or poss 9 .. the R and B in liberty ... the B shows more but the R & T look like they touch .. no expert for sure ..

The errors I found or thought I found were consistent with 1909 not so much for the 1919.. ugh idk

it’s just Curious to me. I’ll keep looking ..

 

The mintmark looks like a D. If so, it can't be 1909 because no cents were minted at Denver until 1911.

 

Welcome to CT.
My eyes aren't what they used to be, but I see no doubling, and yes the lam error and too bad it's at the date as I think this is a 1919 D Lincoln, not a 1909, but that's just my opinion, let's see what other think.

 

If a 1919 the VDB should be on the shoulder.

 

And yet another example of why it's best to look at all coins with an objective and unbiased eye...

 

Good point

 

Cleaned 1919-D

 

1919-D with a lamination error through the date. Nice find.

 

That jagged lam goes across the entire coin. Interesting.

 

What causes a Lamination to degrade like that ?

 

It may have always been like that. Planchet flaw.
Wait for an expert to explain.
