    Welcome to the forum.

    I cannot tell from the pictures, is that a 1914-D? If yes, there would be some value depending upon the grade but it appears to have some serious environmental damage. A cool find of a 105 year old coin!

    Welcome to the CU forum @Jcb23000.

    Your cent suffered quite a bit of post mint trauma. Not worth much except to keep it in a 2x2 until a better specimen is found.

    Good luck and have fun in the hobby!

    i took more closer of the date. it appears i see double numbers, like the first number of the date.is that an error too?

    @Jcb23000 The close-up pics did not help the cent. Now you really can see all the environmental damage (pitting/corrosion) on the coin. If submitted for grading it would more than likely come back as ED and no grade.

    Just giving you the heads-up to not waste too much time on that cent. Looking for a better one would be an objective to consider.

    It is fun to scrutinize coins looking for rarities, but in this case you have a battered and damaged cent. The longer you stare at it, the more you will see (or think you see).

    @Jcb23000 ....Welcome aboard.... You have a damaged 1944 cent... no numismatic value beyond one cent. Good luck in your searches. Cheers, RickO

    If you do not want to spend the big buckeroos on a 1914-d this would make a splendid hole plugger.

    A few years ago I cherry picked a crappy 1909-s cent and then later that same year an equally terrible 1914-d.
    Not worth much but the fun was just in finding these two dates. Now I just need to get that 09s-vdb outta change!
