NightOwls New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 12/23/2014 08:11 am Hello, I came across this wheat last week and it caught my eye because it is a bit smaller than normal... ...one side of it is indented in so it does not have the same width... ...but the face doesn't seem damaged like I would think it would be if it was squashed... I am not very familiar with errors and PMD so any ideas of what happened to it would be appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

There are Mint operations that might end up in that "railroad rim" look on the obverse but the beveling at the reverse rim is a dead giveaway. There's nothing at the Mint which can do that.
