    Hello. I have a pretty worn 1916 wheat penny here which under 5x magnification looks to almost be a s over d or maybe filled d. Sorry about the quality of scan! I will try to scan a better pic. Has anyone found a 1916 s over d? Any information on this penny will be appreciated!

    Thanks for looking!

    Same issue. Just try to crop it before you post it.

    Not really, I viewed the full size and I still can't make out any great details on the coin. Need closer pics of the details.

    You need to enlarge it about 100x over the mintmark.

    I am certainly No expert , but from what I have seen and read here....you are wanting to identify an error on your coin, you will need a very, very close up shot of the error itself for those that "know" that see it much clearer ....good luck, and I hope that you found a really nice error coin...

    I can't tell from your photo. Unfortunately, scanners are not the best for taking good close-ups. Do you have a camera with a macro setting? It may not be super close, but you can always crop the image (just the mintmark will do) and enlarge only that portion.
