coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/18/2014 10:12 am What is the weight of this coin compared with another Wheat cent? If lighter, the reverse may have been polished off? Report this Post to the Staff
jmkendall Pillar of the Community United States 1590 Posts	Posted 03/18/2014 11:27 am I can just make out one wheat ear and part of the rim. I'd check the weight as well. But I'm leaning towards some kind of struck through error. Is the surface textured or is that just color modulation from the photography? If smooth it could be a 'super Greaser'. If rough textured, perhaps struck through cloth or cardboard? Report this Post to the Staff
52Raymo Pillar of the Community United States 8516 Posts	Posted 03/18/2014 11:33 am I'm pretty sure I can see some kind of felt/fabric glued to the back. I can see fibers. Oregon coin geek.....* GO BEAVS ! ! ! * Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/18/2014 12:27 pm I agree it does look like something attached to it. The area in question on the upper right, I made an overlay and it is next to the "T" on CENT. Report this Post to the Staff
