Just wear and tear, not a doubled die. And it is only worth melt value, 2¢.

 

Not trying to argue or disagree just trying to learn what gave you the answer you cane up with u dont mind me asking

 

You gotta post better pics that aren't blurry if you truly want us to agree with you.

 

Melt value on alloyed copper is 25% spot, 1 penny = 1/2 cent melt.
As a 1917 penny, it might be worth 5 cents.

 

Once you see one, they are fairly easy to tell. The date: the top of the '9' and the horizontal bar of the 7 is almost twice the thickness of a regular 1917. There is significantly more doubling on much of the lettering .

 

Thanks i try to tell people from looking at a picture and having seen one in hand 2 diffrent things
