@carter, you need to take your righteous indignation down a notch or else you won't be long on this site. @john has "seen" the coin inasmuch as the rest of us except for the OP. These pictures are well above average and should adequately allow us to assess this cent. For sure there are some surface issues with this cent, such as around LIBERTY. Whether this is from a fingerprint or something else is unknown, but that strikes me as a reasonable explanation. Rather than resorting to an attack on @john's character, you would like to offer an opinion on this coin? Thx.

To Oldgrouchyguy:
It could be a tilted strike, partial collar? not sure without seeing the edge - of which is next to impossible to see with photos due to the slab hiding it. But it does appear to be a weak strike on the reverse at K6
Too bad about the fingerprints though - a bit distracting but otherwise a nice coin.

Dearborn: I saw the stress put upon the flan, as seen from the reverse. Many of the letters in the bottom half are distorted (a couple have minor shift doubling), as are the insides of the wheat stalks, so I'm not too sure that the coin was flat before it was struck (then flattened). I have a couple of broadstruck Wheaties, and that phenomenon isn't evident. There are some surface spots that have 'changed' (see obv. rim 9:00 for one), so it probably had a solvent applied in the past. The OMR though is nice and nearly total!

John1: NGC won't put anything on the label that they are not paid for doing. e.g. Error notices, etc. I called and asked about it, and was told to resubmit it under the Error guideline

Might be struck by a tilted reverse die but I didn't think the reverse die (anvil die) could be tilted.

WOW, CARTER,
Sorry to tell you but if you go on buying JOHN, OK for me, then I will buy you and John combinate.
For your coin: Be happy for your attribution. It is relative nice coin, but not MS63. Just keep like this.

@OGG: Thanks for replying back with the explanation - far easier to see in hand than by long distance photo. Very nice LWC certainly something to keep. |

Not sure about if its a partial collar without seeing the edge, but perhaps tapered planchet by the lack of detail on the reverse.

Petespockets55: I think that the blank was ever-so-slightly tilted before it was slammed by the die (not quite flat in the striking chamber), starting at the top-see the O(NE). The E in STATES shows "massive trauma", yet the S next to it is very strongly struck. Molto weird...
Macmercury: I have a couple of thin(ning) planchet Wheaties, and the designs continue unimpeded into nothingness where the planchet tapers. I'm not sure that this coin was struck on a tapering planchet.
John1: I don't like fingerprints either, but I don't think I would have snagged it for $95.00 otherwise. I didn't buy it for the grade, but for the error. If a certain flock of dealers had owned it in the 1980's, I'm sure it would have been gassed until the fingerprints disappeared.
Silviosi: ooooooooooooooo!
