elliottite Valued Member United States 258 Posts	Posted 09/18/2024 6:07 pm Hello, this wheatie came from a lot that was bought from my bank. This 1945 appears very rough on the surface. Wondering if anyone has seen this before. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10504 Posts	Posted 09/18/2024 6:13 pm Looks like it has that "Blow torch" texture to the surfaces. Like E&V stated, the weight should tell the story. Light weight usually points to acid and normal weight points to heat damage. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95443 Posts	Posted 09/18/2024 9:42 pm yep, I was just about to point out what makecents did just above. This coin was heated and 'worked over' Collecting since 1972.
