scotty11 Pillar of the Community United States 1042 Posts	Posted 03/20/2011 10:19 pm Yeah...that's rust in the "WE" (although it's not nearly as bad in hand as in the photo)...and that's a rust spot just below the neck/chin. I'm having trouble getting a good photo of this one. I don't see any wear or rubs that I'd normally see with a steel cent. The left wheat stalks are just as full as the right in hand. My photography skills suck. Report this Post to the Staff

Meldude Valued Member Canada 162 Posts	Posted 03/21/2011 12:20 am I see wheaties often missing the top of the O in ONE CENT. Why does that happen? Report this Post to the Staff

I noticed on a lot of these it affects the E PLUR area, too. Were it just struck-through grease, I'd expect these to differ ever so slightly, but they don't. It has to be something else, I'm thinking. On your coin, Scotty, I agree with Thad, that's a nice one in the MS-61/62 range. Report this Post to the Staff

Because it's the area oppositve the shoulder where there's a lot of metal flow. It's the reason they later lowered the shoulder relief on the design. Lincoln Cent Lover!

fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 03/21/2011 10:36 pm I will say MS-61 for this one mostly due to the spotting overall the coin is relatively mark free Report this Post to the Staff
