If you can't tell with the coin in hand we won't be able to tell from that pic.

1913-D is what I'm seeing, but I can't tell much from that photo either.

If the seller could provide a clear picture of the obverse as he did with the reverse it would make things a lot easier to answer that. Looks like 1915D but no guarantee that's what it is.Stay away till better pictures can be provided.IMHO

I can make out the date on this penny, but not quite as much on the mint mark. It is looking indeed like a 1912-S, but no guarantee on that. The mint mark does look like it's in the genuine position for it to be an S mint mark. But for now, stay away from the listing until some better pics are provided.

I'm pretty sure it's a 3. If that was a 5 the loop would be too large compared to the upper part.

What is it being sold as?

It's being sold as a 1912-S penny. I've been looking closely and that last number is looking more like a 2 than a 3 to me. The mint mark is unsure on my side.

Looks like a 13-S to me but I'm not that good with old Lincolns.

I cant tell at all. To me, it just looks like a half circle. I say pass regardless as the seller wouldnt post such crappy pics unless they were hiding something.

It's a fake 1912 S. The 9 is WAY off to me. The reverse looks off too
