This coin was sent as a bonus coin from a seller I purchased another Lincoln Wheat cent from. I looked at it under my hand held eye magnifier, something didn't look quite right, so I put it under the microscope.
There is one long Die Crack running the entire length of the left wheat ear, and what appears to be another at the U in the word UNUM. My Mistake, that should say United.

The reverse die is a lot later die state than the obverse die. Die crack also on the 'U' on UNITED as well. Die flow on the reverse area shows it to be in the LDS/VLDS die state when your coin was struck.
