nfine Pillar of the Community United States 3497 Posts	Posted 04/20/2023 4:56 pm The poor steelie has seen better days. I have kept every Wheat cent I've ever found, so for me it's a keeper. I wouldn't expect it to have any value above face though. Report this Post to the Staff
nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 04/20/2023 5:00 pm Unable to fully evaluate since your photos are distorted by being more than 10x larger in area than the 800x800 pixels the board recommends. Please use a size of 800x800 or so because that works with more equipment and allows more members to participate. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19450 Posts	Posted 04/20/2023 5:19 pm Given the images posted, I believe we're looking at a vigorous dose of post-strike damage. On the matter of photography, the posted images are a bit soft, but they do fit my display just fine--can't say that works well for everyone. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15791 Posts	Posted 04/20/2023 6:34 pm That is a truly thrashed steel cent. I'm not even sure the value remains 1 cent. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
