D. 1916 Lincoln cent
Asked on May 28, 2024
We'd sell for about a dollar.
REVISION: The submitter wrote me saying "that's insulting." Our reply:
Why? Because you never saw one before, and hopped on the Internet, and see some con artist was asking $1,000 on Etsy?
Your right. We'd be overcharging. The Consumer Price Guide for this coin is $1.07 in Fine, and yours is nowhere near that, it's at best a good or very good, and quite possibly damaged.
Here's a link to one on eBay that sold for 63 cents:

You know, I've been doing this for over 40 years, and do it for free for people all day long. Maybe instead of being insulted you could express some thanks.
