Could this be a Uniface? Or stamped through another 1925 Lincoln Wheat pennyweight 3.0 grams diameter is correct I just had this come in with a bunch of other wheat pennies. It definitely has very very lite reverse side, but at first glance it appears to be blank until you look closer. I believe is was stamped through another penny. The sides are rounded and not flat. You can see the wheat and the word one. Also Lincoln's forehead also has an error line. Looks like more than just worn down. I weighed a bunch of other Worn 1920s wheat pennies and the weights varied from 2.9-3.1grams. I've had a couple one-sided pennies that were ground down, but this one is not flat like the ground-down pennies. What do you guys think? Would it be worth getting it graded?   |

Must be some form of deliberate defacing, however achieved.  to the CCF! |

Note the obverse is showing the proto rim and the coins rim formed.  The coin on the right is a blank. When the proto rim is added, it is then a planchet. You can still see some scratches on the reverse of the coin. The reverse looked like that when it was struck. The reverse devices have been polished off the coin. The coin should be under weight. |

I can see an outline of nearly all the reverse details.

to the forum! It is an abused, worn down Wheat cent. A grading company wouldn't even grade it because of the damage, but without the obverse damage, it might grade a FR-02. That is on a scale of 01-70. |

It is a cull. So it is not worth much more than melt. Even the obverse has a drawing on it.

Not a strike through! PMD(Post Mint Damage) somebody, in the last 70+ years since it left the mint, has caused this damage. How? Any one of a million guesses could be right. Hammer and punch, counter stamp, Etc...
