Please forgive the screenshot. Was excited when I found this going through an old collection I picked up. It's in rough shape.   |

I'm thinking 1919 S maybe. It's in pretty rough shape, so I can't tell for sure what date it is.
Errers and Varietys.

Sharper and larger closeup of the date area needed.

Please, no photos of scope screens! Use the memory card (or USB connection when available).

If you zoom in on the bottom I see the B exactly as detailed. I'll just have to clean it up even more I guess.

Oh I will. I know it's there. I see the minute details on the microscope.

Can you provide large, clear, cropped images of the whole coin, both obverse and reverse? If you do, we would be able to tell for certain as the designer's initials were added to the base of Lincoln's bust in 1918.
I concur, this appears to be a heavily corroded 1919-S cent.
The coin appears to have been cleaned as well. Fortunately in this case the coin carries no numismatic value, but cleaning a coin is heavily frowned upon within the hobby, since cleaning a coin destroys its original surface and greatly reduces it's numismatic value. Never clean a coin!

I'm looking at your pictures and see no VDB. Even worn you can see it.  Edited by hfjacinto
