Greenstang Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Not an error. It's either damage of some sort or may even be Die Deterioration but can't say for sure as the picture is a little out of focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad adams Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 Just now, Brad adams said: If u look bottom right u can definitely tell it got a wheat leaf both ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Your first question was about the upper left of the reverse now your questioning the lower right. Not quite sure what your seeing but it is impossible to have a wheat leaf going both ways during the striking of the coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbbpll Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I see a "woodie" effect on the reverse and nothing else. That could be a result of being re-plated - lots of the steel cents were reprocessed. If it was double-struck, it would be very distinct. Without better evidence I think you're suffering from Pareidolia, the brain's tendency to make up known letters and objects out of random patterns.

l.cutler Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I kind of, might see something on the right wheat ear, but those pictures are terrible. Can you post a picture of the reverse like the one you did of the obverse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l.cutler Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I just can't tell anything for sure from the blurry pictures. From what I can see it looks like a lot of damage, wear and tear. It would be much easier with a clear picture like your obverse picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
