I think it might be a "strike through" error, meaning something was in the way when the obverse die struck.

No you have what is called a LAM, or Lamination error. This is the result of an improper alloy mixture when the planchet sheets were made, notice the tiger stripes on both sides of the coin. your coin is remarkable because the LL side of the obverse is completely delaminated, notice how it is missing, this wasnt done through damage.

Guessing this is a lamination. Also looks like a "woody".  to the CCF! |

I agree it is a lamination error on the obverse. The reason the earlier wheat cents are always so circulated is that they really hadn't been been saved till about 1934. You can find rolls of BU cents back to almost that year. Thus they are rarer to find nice examples after that year.

Yes the "fat error" I was referring to is the lamination error on the bottom left. :)

Nice looking cent - the (De) Lamination has shown the improper alloy mix in the coin

Just out of curiosity, how much value does a delam error put on a coin like this?

Does anyone know if these improper alloy examples tend to delaminate more readily? Just curious.

Very nice lamination and a really good example of a true woody as well (notice how the "flow" continues in the same direction on both sides?).  to the CCF!  |
