I don't think that there are any varieties for 1916 pennies.

JMD is correct.

Freeman or Peck don't list any...I've just checked.

Not strictly true - there is a minor variety of this (and same for 1915), where the king's ear looks kind of recessed as if it's been pushed back a bit. It may have been an early attempt to cure the 'ghosting' problem on the reverse, if so it was a bit of a failure! They're scarce but not rare, and very few dealers offer them for sale separately so it's worth checking all 1916s you see, if you want one.
