Hi Everyone, I was searching through a sack of wheat pennies and put all the Years that had Double Die errors to the side. I found one 1917 that I'm pretty sure is a Double die Obverse, but the next coin I inspected looked very strange on the Reverse. It appears to have Doubling in the "N" in the word "CENT" and the "T" looks very odd. I can't determine if it's a Mint error or someone over between 1917 and when I obtained this sack of Wheat pennies in 2022 did something intentional to it. The way the N looks Double made me think it could be a Mint error.  |

I'm with E&V.
The flaking can be seen towards the center of the right wheat and travels towards the center.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Nice image, but a bit too close. Can you post up another of the full reverse? |

Thank you all for the help, I hadn't ever seen a Wheat penny like that. I've got another strange Wheat penny that I will post in a little while, it's a 1951 D that the planchet is slightly larger than a penny and it weighs a tenth of a gram more than a normal Wheat penny |
