Toddwj328 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 01/26/2024 7:50 pm I bought a large lot of coins from a storage auction a few years ago, finally getting through them and I found this Wheat cent with a braided edge on both the top and bottom. Haven't seen anything else like it. Any help is appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

I had one similar where they tried to make it look like the Wheat cent had reads on the edges they didn't do a very good job yours looks better for sure . Report this Post to the Staff

Toddwj328 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 01/27/2024 12:30 pm Thanks everyone for your replies. I was afraid of that, but it just looked really well done, hoping for some oddity. Again, thanks for your help. I look forward to being a member. Report this Post to the Staff
