Yes, I can.... and no, it's most certainly not a 1916. Just flip it over and have a look-see.

 

Post a reverse pic please.

 

Are there three stars under the eagle?

 

The obverse is more than sufficient to conclude the OP's coin is a TyII. In particular, do note the hair and shield rivets.

 

Your knowledge is admirable.

 

It’s not a 1916 and is likely not a 1917. The 3 stars under the eagle indicate a type two coin which were made from 1917 until the end of the series in 1930.

 

Thanks everyone. Thought I found a jewel. MakMakes alot of sense now.

 

The kind words are certainly appreciated, but I simply thought it a fine opportunity to point out a couple of the less-commonly used identifiers. Had the OP coin been in better shape, the escutcheon would have been another.

 

Still not a bad find in a wheat penny bag.

 

I don't see any "shield rivets" at all: Just Alice the Goon with a big left-arm bicep.

In any case, it's better than anything I've ever found in a pile of wheaties.

 

Simply look below the E and R of Liberty.

 

Got it. Thanks for that!
