194?-S Lincoln Cent Red Error?

Need help figuring out what's up with this penny and year. I'm thinking 1940 or 1946? PMD?

Appears to be a 1940: the "0" is almost level with the "4" in your top pic. Altogether, looks like a well circulated struck-through-grease to me, but I'm not entirely sure, because of the scratches.

@paddyman98, what do you think?

 

Welcome to Coin Talk. Based on the closeup of the date, IMO it looks more like a 1946 S Cent. The tail of the 6 is higher than the top of the 4.

 

I couldn't get this photo on my above post. Compare the 0 to the 4 the same height.

 

It's almost 2am Eastern time as I'm posting this and I appreciate the input!

 

Now it's 2:43 AM and I'm going to bed. Hoping for a pleasant dream(s).

 

3:19 AM... Looks like a worn die strike. 1940

 

Copy, don't go to sleep I got one more in 2 min.
