Is it or isn't it?

Found the following 1924 wheat cent in one of the bags from last week's batch of pennies.

Now I am just trying to figure out, is it or isn't it a "D" I see below the date.

If it is a D then its the 5th lowest mintage wheat cent, if not, then its just a relatively common wheat cent from the 20's.

Opinions?

I would say no to any mintmark. The groove that's below the 2 could be mistaken for the base of a D or S but I think it's just the left end of the gouge that runs towards the rim. Great find and pic!

That's not even where I was looking. Try this picture.

To bad it is all tore up.

Allthough I see what you want to see. I think its way to far to the left to be what you think it is.

I believe it could go either way - could be a D.

It's a "Q". .....sorry GMan, couldn't resist. Hard telling actually.

Would it really matter? With that groove the grading would go way down to nothing. Might as well have pulled it from the sea with a metal detector.

Better luck with the next one.

It's not due to value, it's to say I found one since they're a toughie.

I think I am going to just call it a 1924.
