Silverbandit4975 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 11/12/2023 09:44 am Came across a Wheat penny with a partial reed edge. Is this an error? or just wear and tear. Looks pretty uniform on spacing and such. * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Silverbandit4975 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 11/12/2023 11:35 am I guess my initial description was a little misleading... I am more referring to the reeding like impression on the reverse. That is more of what I'm wondering is an error or not. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 11/12/2023 12:47 pm Still need to see the edge. As of now,it did not leave the mint like that so PMD. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5770 Posts	Posted 11/12/2023 12:55 pm Neat looking coin. Although the images are a little hazy they are clear enough to see what you are referring to. I agree with John1. It didn't leave the mint that way since there isn't anything at the mint that could cause this. (A cent wouldn't fit into the striking chamber, aka collar die, for the dimes if that is what you were thinking.) Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.

Silverbandit4975 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 11/12/2023 1:16 pm Thank you all! It just caught my eye while going through the bucket of change. The edge is smooth like it is expected... Wasn't really sure on what was going on, but PMD it is. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95018 Posts	Posted 11/12/2023 1:43 pm The 'reeds' were added long after it left the mint, considered damage at this point. Collecting since 1972.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 11/12/2023 2:06 pm The only thing at the mint that might cause that is the mylar sealing machine for sets of coins but I do not think it is from that. I think it is PMD. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
