1960 - D Lincoln Cent

    Pictures are too out of focus to see the markers clearly.
    We have to be able to see the detail but if I had to guess, I would say no.

    You would be better served with normal pictures of the whole coin with images as large as possible. Micro photography is almost impossible without the right equipment.

    Looks more like the 0 was a bit flattened from a circulation hit.
