I found this penny in some change and was wondering if they made a 1910 d copper Wheat penny?

1910-D is not a legitimate minted year/mint combination made by the U.S. Is it possible you're misreading the mint mark?

A good clear picture of the date and mintmark would be very helpful.

It is most likely an S that was smashed. Clearer pictures and of the whole date/mm will be needed.

Last digit is too large to be a 0 from a 1910. The 1910 had a very small round 0. Possibly a damaged 6

thank you for all your feed back. I did take it to 2 jewelers and a coin dealer and they all said it was a 1910 d after they put it under a microscope. I wanted some more information about this coin due to it was not suppose to exist.

It doesn't exist. A jeweler might not know that, but any numismatist does.

Did the coin dealer offer you anything for it?

I agree with Conder about the date. The 0 in the date is way to big to be a 1910. Either someone did a terrible job at trying to alter the date, or it's very damaged.

I'm more inclined to think, if it's not 1910, it's a 1918-D. The height of the numbers is far more in line with the 1918-D versus the 1916-D, and the top of the 6 doesn't extend nearly far enough for this to look like a 6 to me.

the coin dealer did offer to buy it from me but I refused the offer and everyone that has checked the coin said it was damaged on the right side. there are many coins that are said not to exist such as a 1943 copper Wheat penny (which I do have one) and a 1959 Wheat penny which is not suppose to exist but does. The 1910 d and 1943 copper will be sent away to be graded and certified.

you have a 1943 copper wheatie? they plated thousands of them my friend, if you got a real one its like a 5-6 figure coin. I'll be honest. I hope it's real, that would be an outstanding find, but I'm doubtful it is.

1943 coppers exist. I don't know who's saying they don't, but knowledgeable numismatists are aware they exist, and there are sales records. There is one known 1959-D Wheat, which has been authenticated by the Secret Service yet not authenticated by any TPG. Accurate images of it are in the public domain, and if it's a fake, it's a good one. If real (for that matter, if it's fake too), it's reasonable to assume another will wash up some day.

None of this addresses a 191* Lincoln with a final digit which is plainly either altered or damaged. It is, of course, your right to submit it but don't get your hopes up. You've asked, we've offered our opinions, and it's yours to decide. We already know what you're going to hear.

I hope your 1943 is real. As a preliminary test, compare the date to a 1943 steel cent. The 3 in the date should match exactly, and it isn't like any other Wheatie 3 in the date. It should also have a very good strike, being struck by hardened dies meant to strike steel.
