I could use some help with this one, is that a strike through in IGWT?

It appears bound by the rim, so PMD seems unlikely. Neat die crack otherwise.

Damage - look at how the W is smeared downward.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Yep, just damage ( PMD), in the motto. Nice Spike Head though.

The appearance/consistency of metal deformation on this era of Lincoln cents will never cease to amaze me. It looks more to me like molding clay than later alloys/memorial cents...

Thank you, Hondo, Errers!

Dearborn, I'm glad you put it that way specifically, as it explains to me just how backwards I was thinking about this. Thank you.

I don't know what it is about wheat cents to my eyes... In my other post last night, what I thought was damage is suggested to be a strike through, here what I thought was a strike through turned out to be damage
