ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19215 Posts	Posted 05/21/2020 12:24 pm The coin has seen plenty of circulation over its existence. Likely that 'AME' on the reverse was a soft/weak strike to begin with--perhaps a touch of Grease Filled Die as well. Add many years of wear, and AME is nearly indiscernible. Overall, I'd say a weak G6. Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19968 Posts	Posted 05/21/2020 8:15 pm G-4 The master hubs and dies were new in 1916 producing some of the best struck wheat cents ever made....this coin is highly worn.
