Hello everyone, I have recently found this Wheat penny while coin roll hunting and what struck me odd was the reeding along the edges and have no idea what it is if anyone can help me I would be very grateful thanks!  |

 To CCF! All I know is the Lamination error is legit. The weird reeded edging looks like Post Strike Damage (Happened out of the U.S. Mint). I don't think the reeded edging is an error, but rather very unusual damage. Errers and Varietys.

@Echo4-19, first welcome to CCF. Second, I agree with @E&V on both statements. The denticles look like they were added by hand as they wave in and out as they travel around the rim. Is there similar damage on the rev?

Now if you can post a picture of the reverse, that would be great. We just want to see if the reverse has the same damage or not.
Errers and Varietys.

Ok good to know--thanks for following up. I wonder if the damage removes any added numismatic value for the fact that this is a Wheat cent plus a lamination. It certainly doesn't help the value, but a nice catch anyway and probably worth saving as it is a nice example of a lamination. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

I would still keep it because, #1 it's a Wheat cent and #2, it has a Lamination. Still a nice find!  Errers and Varietys.

I do not feel the anomalys around the rim are from reeds , but from denticle's. This coin appears to have been struck on a previously struck coin that had denticle's.Note the raised denticle imediatly adjacent to the undamaged L of Liberty. Possibly an Indian cent was struck. Here is a side by side for comparison.  Edited by stoneman227

What ever they used to create this look, didn't happen at the mint. Note how regular the denticals are on the older coin? On the altered coin, they are not regular. It moves around a bit away from the rim. So its PSD. |

Looks like, at one point, it had been set in a charm holder with the circumference tamped down around it. Just my opinion.... or aliens. But I've never seen aliens wear jewelry.
