Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75500 Posts	Posted 06/27/2018 7:00 pm It's Post Strike Damage, since it happened after it left the U.S. Mint. The metal has been smashed by something rolling it. It has lived a very hard life, but it's very cool that you found it in your yard though! Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34456 Posts	Posted 06/27/2018 8:22 pm @ussid18 nailed it. Someone left it on the rail to be run over by a train.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75500 Posts	Posted 06/27/2018 8:39 pm Great job USSID18! You nailed that one for sure! The Wheat cent was run over by a train. The final verdict is it's indeed Post Strike Damage (happened after it left the U.S. Mint). Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
