My 11 year old nephew found this coin in junk silver. Is it a 1916?

Sorry but it is not.

I concur.

I didn't think so based on the shield rivets, but, told my nephew I'd ask the experts. Thank you everyone.

Another good way to tell is by looking at the drapery(gown) at the foot. 1917 will not touch it, 1916 the drapery will touch the foot.

Yeah, as you thought, the rivets are a dead giveaway among other things. Still a cool coin for an 11 year old to have!

i don't see any differences except the 1916 usually being a mushy strike and the date after viewing numerous MS examples as well as 1917
