I have never seen anything like this. As you can see, the color looks off and there are some unusual scratches; however, I do not see any scratches that indicate the date was removed. In fact, the scratches seem to validate that there wasn't any form of alteration. Has anyone ever seen a wheat cent without a date?

My thoughts are that your wheatie is pretty well worn and if you had a weak strike it may have worn off. ?? Maybe altered.. Someone will jump in here probably with some more information as to your dateless wheatie...   07-03-2009, 10:19 PM   #4 (permalink) jmon Numismatist In Training     Join Date: Jul 2009 Posts: 225 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by krispy I may know a woman about his age he might like to date... lol   07-03-2009, 10:20 PM   #5 (permalink) chip chip     Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Northern Illinois Posts: 960 Blog Entries: 23 I have a partially dateless, 194 -s, I assumed it was a filled die error, maybe yours also is a filled die?   07-03-2009, 10:56 PM   #6 (permalink) coinman0456 Coin Collector     Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: Albany, New York Posts: 1,888 Blog Entries: 1 I would say it was a very weak strike to begin with and with circulation wear the date deteriorated to nothingness. what is the reverse like? __________________   07-03-2009, 11:12 PM   #7 (permalink) rockdude Coin Collector     Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: ca. Posts: 2,742 My Mood: What you may have is a struck through, probably grease coin. Never seen it as severe as this. __________________ “Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid.” John Wayne   07-03-2009, 11:24 PM   #8 (permalink) jmon Numismatist In Training     Join Date: Jul 2009 Posts: 225 My Mood: The reverse is weak in areas. There is, IMO, less detail than ususal on the wheat stalks for the condition and a few letters are blurry (the U in united and the ES in states).
