ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19171 Posts	Posted 10/03/2022 08:36 am I've seen this appearance on wheat cents over my decades of cent searching--probably a few dozen instances. Not a doubled die. Could be an early stage Dryer Coin. Good pics. Report this Post to the Staff

(I don't have access to this, but someone might test my theory to see if this happens. (Image before and after alteration) We see these a lot here. But with the devices enlarged, they look smushed?
