kelly619 New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 11/30/2019 03:53 am I have never seen this happen, where all the letters look like they were poured on instead of stamped on. Even the wheat is melted together. Would grease do this? Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 11/30/2019 04:09 am It's the result of heavy polishing, replating post-mint or both. It's a spender in my opinion.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19249 Posts	Posted 11/30/2019 10:20 am I've run across cents like this a number of times over the years--most have the appearance of devices (letters and numbers in particular) being somewhat flattened; made a bit soft and widened. Softened and widened is the key. In all cases that I've seen, rims have not been excessively worn. Drop it in a 2x2 as an interesting example of post-mint wear. Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 11/30/2019 10:24 am I would say a combination of wear and VLDS . Report this Post to the Staff
Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7519 Posts	Posted 11/30/2019 10:35 am I'd also say, result of heavy wear, VLDS ans polishing. Report this Post to the Staff
heavymetal Valued Member United States 303 Posts	Posted 11/30/2019 1:10 pm I posted a 1944 D very similar to your coin a few days ago. I just took the advice of Jonh1 as a Dryer Coin. I put mine in a 2x2 though as it's interesting to look at. Report this Post to the Staff
