JTCC Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 07/17/2022 10:39 pm Greetings, community. Recently while going through some rolls of cents that I acquired from my local bank in part of my daily bank run, I uncovered this specimen alongside with a few of its wheaty brethren. the second one that I've found. Some faint Bakesly's affect could be observed on this specimen, which is poorly shown on the pictures taken. It strikes me interesting that this example was heavily circulated, it was not quickly spotted and pulled from circulation during it's 82 years in existence. Thought of sharing this interesting find to the community, so here it is. All opinions/advices welcomed and appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

JTCC Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 07/17/2022 10:57 pm I could, but the image would not be the best. The edge is also quite worn from circulation. It does not show any tooling marks, but does have the features of the blanking tare. Report this Post to the Staff
