    okay.. we all concentrate on the Wheatie obverse.... I wonder if for that reason alone, often the reverse is untouched? I am curious, I read how imperfections on the reverse can drag a grade down, however the converse is not true?? a 63 obverse with a 67 reverse = 63? and a 67 obverse with a 63 reverse = 65??? is there a percentage vaguely used? I recently came across this reverse that stuck out in my mind enough to create this thread.


    So, post a perfect or unusual wheatie reverse. Let's see em!

    Here's a 1947-D. Check out the stretching of the lettering that is near the edge.

    This thread makes me feel funny in a good way (like when you climbed the rope in gym class)..... I love finding wheats when roll digging, even if they suck and look like they've been drug behind a truck. Must be a hillbilly thing. All my family has saved wheat pennies since way back when. I'm waiting to find something good in one of their buckets, lol.

    ...and since you said this is a reverse thread, I'm not showing you the obverses of any of these coins. See why we focus on the obverse now? LOLOLOL

    Right now I am afraid I do not and since I am leaving tomorrow, I am afraid those will have to do for the moment.
