Someone noticed something off with the wheat, does anyone have a clue? Should I send it into pcgs as a suspected error? Thank you all, hope you are having happy holidays! See my reply to this for images thanks Edited by Exmm5678 12/27/2023 02:53 am Report this Post to the Staff

lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1659 Posts	Posted 12/27/2023 04:23 am Looks like a very small die crack. This wouldn't add anything to the value of the coin, so no, not worth having graded. Very nice example of a 1942 cent though, it would make a great start to a Wheat cent collection. I'd definitely put it in a holder to protect it. Report this Post to the Staff
