I'll take a guess. I'm probably wrong, but 1940.

The distinctive die cracks would be a strong diagnostic to any specialist who studies this series based on varieties and errors.

I am not such a specialist - so my guess is somewhere between 1909 and 1958.

That's got to be a 1922-D.

There are no VDB initials on the reverse, so It's got to be 1909-1917. I'm also no expert on those die cracks, so I'll say 1915.

VDB was on the reverse only in 1909*. The initials were removed, and in 1918 reappeared on the obverse at the base of Lincoln's shoulder.

*There is one at least one 1910 LWC with residual VDB due to incomplete removal of the initials:

Well, it looks as if several of you have bragging rights, Zurie, Aurelius, and grizzlybear706!

It is indeed 1922-D and this was a reverse I wanted to find, and I grade it personally XF-45ish

I missed the contest but enjoyed it non the less.
I also liked the link Jondo Bogus shared about the VDB reverse on 1910 coins.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
