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!

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).
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!

Looks like a corroded 44-D to me. The "1" is too far from the "9."
1944 penny. worth about 2 cents.

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!
the second and third numbers seem to far apart from what the pics tell. its kinda difficult to tell. jmo

It is a badly corroded 1944-D cent. It is worth exactly one cent.

@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.
