Slymer Valued Member United States 120 Posts	Posted 03/31/2018 02:41 am Hey ya'll need your opinions about this Lincoln Cent. Is it a 1950, 1956, or maybe a 1959 cent? I am having a hard time because of the last "9" on the date . Kinda looks like a backwards "9" or there's something odd about it.well let me know if I'm bonkers or or not thanks- slymer Report this Post to the Staff

My guess is 1950 AD.
