In hand, you can make out the wheat stalks but not ONE CENT or US of A. Leaning towards an error coin. Thanks for looking! Report this Post to the Staff

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 03/05/2017 7:12 pm It's possible that it was stuck in a position to affect one side (the smooth sided) but I would have thought it would be down a couple of tenths (grams) as a result. Still at 3.1. And I got to wondering about the protrusion opposite the obverse punch. It happened sometime after the initial event. Report this Post to the Staff

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 03/06/2017 3:25 pm I'm wondering if it's a uniface strike. I'm unsure though about which die was typically the hammer or anvil but since it takes a pair of planchettes the point may be moot. The reverse is smooth with just a trace of the outer devices.
