My phone, bless its heart, tried to tell me this is a 1918S. But, going by the traces that remain, it's a sixteen, right? The upper loop of the 8s on these are smaller and oval, versus the larger, D-shaped loop of the 6?

It is difficult to see, but my brain tells me that is a 1928?

I see a 23 or 28
I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.

My thinking went: You can see the tops of all four digits. The first two are one and nine. Third could be a one, two, or three, it's the same width as the first so one it is. Fourth digit has a curved top, so that is six eight or nine. Two depressions beneath are the same width, so eight is out. A six has a flatter side on the bottom of the top loop, the nine has a flatter side on the top of the bottom loop, the six pattern looks more likely to me.

I see 1928 S. 4th digit looks like an 8 as the 6s are shaped differently.

I see 1916. The top of the 3rd digit is not wide enough to be a 2.
