However, how to you get the wheat brockage on that side of the indented part? Shouldn't it be opposite of where it is? Could use a little help understanding this one. I will note the coin weighs 3.10g, the edge is flared at the error and there is a raised rim of metal on the inside edge of the indented region from the tip of the nose south to the rim. The brockage is definitely incuse, but matches up nearly perfectly with the design on the reverse of the coin, which shows a weak strike at the high points opposite on the obverse.

This isn't the first strike but doesn't appear to be too far down the line Another special one ! Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 08/19/2022 1:28 pm Fantastic looking error! I like Stonemans explanation on this, you can see the upside down "T" in CENT brockage too.

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 08/19/2022 4:54 pm Thanks all and especailly Stoneman for seeming to nail down how this came to be. That solution never occurred to me which is why I asked folks wiser than I about it. Really kind of makes this a pretty unique coin for my collection as I'm not sure I've seen one of these before but definitely not on a Wheat cent. Report this Post to the Staff
