SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 12/05/2020 11:57 pm Thank you all for the feedback, here are the wheat tips as requested. Honestly even with stronger DDRs, the doubling on the wheat tips is something I can never spot so I've got no idea if they're slightly doubled or not. Report this Post to the Staff
That Coin Dude Pillar of the Community United States 1427 Posts	Posted 12/06/2020 12:56 am I'm leaning towards a minor DDR but I'm no professional Report this Post to the Staff
SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 12/06/2020 06:43 am Thank you TCD, let's see what the others say. EDIT: Should I honestly just throw it back? It might be impossible to figure this out, as @CS said in a previous post. Edited by SilverCents 12/07/2020 12:40 am Report this Post to the Staff
That Coin Dude Pillar of the Community United States 1427 Posts	Posted 12/07/2020 12:46 am I mean, it could still be one, but whether or not it is, it's still a Wheat cent, I'd keep it. Report this Post to the Staff

mb560600 Valued Member United States 365 Posts	Posted 12/07/2020 1:59 pm I checked Coppercoins and it looks like you have 1DR-005. When you compare the L, U and S in EPU, you can see similarities despite the circulation wear. Report this Post to the Staff
