Dallife New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 12/24/2019 12:44 pm I have a 1958 Wheat penny in good condition with what appears to be part of letters stamped boldly on the rim / off edge above the M in "unum" I can't find another one like it online. I bought many wheat pennies from a coin shop which were unsearched and I found a few different errors on some. But I can't identify this one.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 12/24/2019 2:14 pm I don't see the "letters stamped boldly on the rim" Which letters? I know you tried to show a clos up, but I still cannot see which letters? What I do see appears to be perhaps damage? Cannot really tell. Can you show us more of the actual edge were you see letters?

Dallife New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 01/07/2020 10:47 am You can feel them, they are raised. My question is what that could be. They are definitely raised, you can see it without a magnifying glass as well. Report this Post to the Staff

Dallife New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 01/09/2020 09:14 am The areas are reduced in a very convenient way to show this way. The whole coin rim is the same except for the marks. They are not reduced. It's a perfect penny in decent condition. Thanks for your help, I will go elsewhere because the pictures don't do justice. Report this Post to the Staff
