The seller's images were pretty awful and this looked like an off center on a split planchet. But it's 3.03 grams and doesn't seem split at all. Some kind of texture on the copper roll, which I think I have seen before but can't put a name on. No date Lincoln Wheat cent mint error - off center w/ planchet lines   |

Interesting coin, tropicalbats. What do you think caused the two gouges on the reverse?

I like it. Arnt those lines called roller lines? I like how it shows the lines disappearing with the strike of the dies and makes me wonder why I see copper plated cents with lines on them after the strike? John1  |

I agree with John1 about roller lines. Although I'll add the ones for this coin were probably poorly maintained, with debris creating the uneven texture.
