I did get a G4 1918 wheatie and a few 50's wheats also. It looks like some kind of strike thru to me, what do you think? Edited by bmanofnbc 02/19/2008 9:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff

bmanofnbc Pillar of the Community United States 1424 Posts	Posted 02/19/2008 9:14 pm KurtS, wouldn't a die chip be raised on the coin? This is more like a crater. Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 02/19/2008 9:25 pm Ah...I was fooled by the lighting. Perhaps something was struck into the coin that later fell out? Edited by KurtS 02/19/2008 9:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
bmanofnbc Pillar of the Community United States 1424 Posts	Posted 02/19/2008 10:00 pm Maybe it fell out or it never stuck to the coin at all. This is a zinc cent but the affected area looks like the copper is still intact. Report this Post to the Staff
NGiles Pillar of the Community United States 527 Posts	Posted 02/19/2008 10:42 pm If the copper is still intact, I would think it had to of been an error in the zinc planchet before it was copper plated. Anything that significant after copper coating would have broken through the copper. Report this Post to the Staff
