Agree, this is most likely a '16-D.

In my opinion it is a 10-S . The hit above the 0 does not make it look like a 6 . And the MM is so worn that the metal just has that blended in look to it resembling a D .
JMHO .

I think someone a long long time ago was playing with a 1916D trying to get the look of a 1910D. Then when they didn't get the results they were hoping for just spent it..

1916 D. The top of the 6 got hit down by that hit above it folding it into looking like a zero. No doubt in my mind on it.

on this coin the top of the 9 is lower than the tops of the 1 digits, that is true on 1910 coins

on 1916 coins the tops of all the 191 digits are the same

I say 1916-D. If you look at a 1916 Lincoln Cent and then look at the angle and depth of the hit above the date, I can see where the "6" was altered to appear to be a "0".

If it were in fact a 1910-S, the alterations would double, because the "S" looks like a "D", the "S" does not appear to have taken a strike where it would have been altered to look like a "D".
So to go from a 1916-D to a 1910-D, takes one very precise hit to alter it.

To go from a 1910-S to a 1910-D I see no hit the "S" took to change it to "D". Plus if in deed it were a fairly Rare 1910-S It would have to overcome the rarity of the 1910-S, plus take a hit to the "S" to make it appear as a "D". I see no evidence of that.
So to go from a 1910-S to a 1910-D takes two steps, Rarity and precise hit.

To go from 1916-D to a 1910-D take only one precise hit to the 6 to achieve that.
In addition the 1910-D does not exist. So that compounds
the possibility from Rare to extremely rare.

Simplest solution is probably the correct one.

I agree with coop 1916S....just can't figure how the "O" devise closed, don't see any damage to that edge?

The mark that created the pothole on the upper part of the 6, flattened and moved the metal around on that digit.
