Something doesn't seem quite right here.

 something's not quite right here. If it were the letters overlapping then that should only show on the top of the cent, it's showing this "reeding" in areas that the letters shouldn't overlap. Interesting. |

The planchet is the correct weight for that year.
It has a protorim so it went through the upsetting machine.
My thought is the ridges on the edge may stem from a damaged die when the blanks were punched from the coin metal sheets. This could have left ridges on the blank that would not disappear when it became a planchet in the upsetting machine . If this coin had been struck in collar the ridges would be gone but it wasn't confined by the collar.
Conjecture.

Edit: no chance of being a wrong planchet?

I believe it is the correct planchet and do not think it is the wrong planchet.

Nice article. Looks exactly the same as mine with slanted reeding. Thanks

Hi! Interesting find. Tanman2001, has a very, very plausible answer to how this happened. So we'd be looking at a legit mint error, and PMD also. Very interesting find. I had a long reply of speculation involving a lathe and a straight knurling tool, but Tanman2001 I think has it pegged with his link. Edited by Big-Kingdom
