RW1010 Pillar of the Community United States 1207 Posts	Posted 03/28/2024 12:05 pm I can't tell what's going on with this anomaly on the edge of this Wheat cent. It looks like maybe a struck through debris or something like that. Any thoughts on what this could be? Report this Post to the Staff

RW1010 Pillar of the Community United States 1207 Posts	Posted 03/28/2024 1:15 pm Thanks E&V. I was thinking the same maybe even struck through struck foil. It almost looks like some letters or numbers. Just a thought Edited by RW1010 03/28/2024 1:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 03/28/2024 4:14 pm I've seen this before. I just caulk it up to a hit that transfers letters into the edge. Report this Post to the Staff
RW1010 Pillar of the Community United States 1207 Posts	Posted 03/28/2024 4:24 pm Thanks Cujohn. I should have considered that also. I was thinking it's not a vise job but a well placed hit from another coin is definitely a possibility Report this Post to the Staff

RW1010 Pillar of the Community United States 1207 Posts	Posted 03/28/2024 4:46 pm Thanks Coinfrog. Cujohns theory is very plausible. I didn't initially consider a hit because the area is so clean but I could see the cent at the bottom of a bag at an angle getting pressed onto another coin Report this Post to the Staff
