I pulled this out of a lot of wheat pennies I purchased. I think this is a strike through? What is your opinion and if it is a strike through Is it worth grading to make it worth more money?     |

It's just a badly damaged coin.How it got this way I couldn't tell you but definitely did not leave the mint looking this way

Agree with jasper62. Quite possible much of the damage was intentional--someone having fun with copper. I'd keep it as a fun curiosity.

Yes purposeful damage—only worth face value so not worth getting slabbed.

OK ...
Don't take this the wrong way if this is a serious question. I've got to ask if your name (the OP) has anything to do with this post?
Any chance you're pulling our leg?
You've got pretty nice images and the distortion and discoloration to the copper surface is pretty obvious.

No I'm not pulling anyone's legs. My name is Mike R. From southeast M.O. I wish you could see the coin in hand instead of just a few pictures. Some of the marking are hard to believe that someone could manage to do it. Also the edge or rim of the coin is normal you    |
