@nw, first welcome to CCF. Second, I agree that the rev looks struck through. Definitely worth keeping in a 2x2.

Looks like the obverse die was replaced. That appears to be an earlier die state die. That is what they are supposed to look like.

@Spence, I think he's talking about how the obverse die is in Early Die State. He said that's what Early Die State coins are supposed to look like. I am pretty sure he's seen the reverse.

Ok yes, of course he has seen it, but his post seemed to me to be a bit of a non sequitur.

The color of the reverse looks weird to me. If it is grease it's the best shield cent I've seen!
Nwoods is that the same coin in both pics?

Wow Nwoods! You're very lucky that you found that in pocket change! If you haven't already, put it in a 2x2 coin flip for protection. I hope you'll stick around with us for a long time.
