    Ok so I found a 47' Wheaty while hunting the other day, (Good day actually, I came across several interesting errors and varieties I think my fellow "numisfanatics" here might find relatively interesting), anyway, besides the Lamination, would this also be a:

    Multiple Strike(s) - Based on the huge "UNITED" imprinted vertically on Lincoln's Vest, in addition to a few other Letters on the Obverse?, as well as the large partial date, namely, the "9" on the upper-right side on the Reverse? (Note: Although it may be difficult to see in the photographs attached heretofore, at least one or two other digits appear next to the "9"), and/or;

    Broadstrike - Due to the relatively large "stretch" of metal visible on the upper-left of the obverse and the lower-right of the reverse?, and/or;

    Brockage - As a result, of the various possible mirror image design impressed on the opposite side of subject coin?

    Finally, I greatly appreciate any insight from our experienced and esteemed members as to a proper way to identify the errors present on this cent and whether it is worth possibly having attributed? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!!

    PMD - Post Mint Damage
    Incused and backwards lettering were added after it left the US Mint. Using a workshop vice.

    Not Broadsruck nor Brockage. Just altered.

    Unfortunately.. Not a mint error of any kind.

    All I see is a lot of post-mint damage.
