echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 10/16/2010 6:29 pm Came across this LWC today, I can't tell if it's a 1916 or an altered 1946. Thre is a scratch that make the third number difficult to read. What do you think? Sorry for the bad pictures. Report this Post to the Staff

jnesbitt82 Valued Member United States 191 Posts	Posted 10/16/2010 8:12 pm I think the picture makes it easier to see the remains of the 4 compared to looking at it with the naked eye. 1946 for sure. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 10/19/2010 2:20 pm It has VDB on Lincoln's shoulder and that wasn't put there until 1918 so that eliminated 1916 immediately. Report this Post to the Staff
ACE Mike Valued Member United States 438 Posts	Posted 10/19/2010 2:30 pm May not be altered. Could be a filled die, causing it to appear as a 1916. Looks like part of the cross bar is still present to the right of the vertical. ACE Mike Report this Post to the Staff
