Spence Moderator United States 34426 Posts	Posted 04/18/2022 5:34 pm @msg, first welcome to CCF. Second, I agree with @jimmy, that the blurring of the letters up into the rim is a result of this coin being struck by a tired die rather than a doubled die. This isn't a mint error, but circulated examples of common date wheat cents are still worth 3-4x over face value.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/19/2022 12:56 pm For a better term if is die wear, to the extreme. Not a plus for the coin as many as 54 % of that die run will look like that as the die ages: They do get even worse: Not a premium. Seniors don't premiums for their wrinkles, neither do coins.
