I have a 1916 S penny that I'm wondering about. Not sure what it would be considered and if it would have any value other than being a 1916 S. It looks like retained cud to me and the L in liberty is raised. It also appears to have a die chip that looks like a D by the mintmark as well as the second T in trust, And possibly stamped over something? Alot of things going on here.Does anybody know, thanks in advance.
BY the look of the surface crud on your coin it is hard to tell. the close ups don't help. Need full size obv. pics to help.
There appears to be glue on the surfaces, and the L & T & "S" areas are damaged, and not struck like that when the coin was minted.
Yeah thats what it was.. I didnt want to clean it at all but i did get all that off of there except for the face it appears to be glue or something. Thank you though.
