Nateh1993 New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 04/17/2018 07:14 am Hello. I have a 1944 Wheat cent, looking pretty rough. Does this coin just have alot of wear or is it an error of some sort? * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 04/17/2018 08:00 am If you're looking at the inverted profile on the reverse, that occurs on coins struck from very worn die and is known as Progressive Indirect Die Transfer, or "ghosting." Here is the error-ref.com page. Hmm, it seems that that site is currently down. If the link doesn't work soon, try searching either of those terms.

It's hard to say from the pics but it almost looks like a lamination issue. As far as the reverse, I'd have to agree with Numisma. Report this Post to the Staff
