VestigeWolf Pillar of the Community United States 549 Posts	Posted 05/09/2021 4:53 pm Not if it's an acid damage coin, and it looks like that to me. I have a few just for reference. Edited by VestigeWolf 05/09/2021 9:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff

IsThisAnything Valued Member United States 440 Posts	Posted 05/10/2021 12:47 am Haha "wash hands after spending" I can see how that looks like some of the struck through die caps that have been shared lately, but agree with the experts Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/10/2021 12:53 am But the big differences between a struck through a capped die and this coin is that the reverse is not normal. The acid treatment all both sides and the weight as well. Just a junk pile Wheat cent now. Report this Post to the Staff
