Bezo816 Valued Member United States 131 Posts	Posted 05/10/2018 9:54 pm Going through my wheat pennies and I found this...what the heck happened to this coin? It is a 1951 D (I think) Wheat penny...the back is normal, but the front is all messed up. As always, thank you for your time. Report this Post to the Staff

Dave42 Pillar of the Community United States 571 Posts	Posted 05/10/2018 11:17 pm It might be struck through a late stage die cap. Or not. Pictures of the full coin would help determine that. Nice close up pics though! Report this Post to the Staff

Bezo816 Valued Member United States 131 Posts	Posted 05/11/2018 6:42 pm So should I have someone look at it...coin dealer? Grade it? Would it be worth getting graded? Is it more valuable since it's a Wheat? This is my first true "mint error"...and as Rickki Booby says: "I don't know what to do with my hands!!" Report this Post to the Staff
