But it is from 1916, and has this weird mark on both sides.. Does anyone know if it is just something someone did in there home or anything? Or if it is special? Report this Post to the Staff

jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 02/16/2014 8:40 pm According to the Red Book a 1916 Lincoln Cent in G4 condition about .30 cents but yours is damaged so technically even less. 1916 is a common date. Report this Post to the Staff
