I would still keep it because, #1 it's a Wheat cent and #2, it has a Lamination. Still a nice find!  Errers and Varietys.

I do not feel the anomalys around the rim are from reeds , but from denticle's. This coin appears to have been struck on a previously struck coin that had denticle's.Note the raised denticle imediatly adjacent to the undamaged L of Liberty. Possibly an Indian cent was struck. Here is a side by side for comparison.  Edited by stoneman227

What ever they used to create this look, didn't happen at the mint. Note how regular the denticals are on the older coin? On the altered coin, they are not regular. It moves around a bit away from the rim. So its PSD. |

Looks like, at one point, it had been set in a charm holder with the circumference tamped down around it. Just my opinion.... or aliens. But I've never seen aliens wear jewelry.

Definitely PMD on the denticles. But the lamination flaw is legit. to the CCF! |

As others have said, these are false denticles, added after the coin left the Mint.

I do accept Mr Diamonds assessment of this coin but pose this question .
How was the raised bead of coin metal formed , between an undamaged rim and the undamaged top of the L of Liberty ? I simply can't see where that metal came from if it was done outside the striking chamber.
