Message:: [QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3229166, member: 77814"]It's a real cent So the title states that it is DAMAGED and "Looks like" a double struck error, but isn't. The obverse has been squeezed about 6 times. TITLE:  "Damaged WHEAT PENNY Looks like a double struck error 1943/1944 Unusual" Here's the DESCRIPTION"For sale is a 1944 penny that appears to have been hit with a 1943 penny. It looks at first glance like a penny that has been double struck, which is very rare, but this is not that error. Still cool though and a fun addition to a collection!" The #1 top arc is a squeeze from a 1943 cent which sticks 1943 and damages the B in LIBERTY and adds a backwards LIB near the edgeYou have the #2 which add "IN GOD WE TRUST" across the arcand #3 deeper squeezes crossing patterns from the time.and #5 you can see crimping the edge in the middle part of the bust.#6 you can see push metal just from the 2nd 4 to towards the rim.and other damage. Reverse: looks like you can see part of an upside down bust being squeezed on to it. wow, I really should start my own shop of "Mint Errors".  $381 revenue .. material cost $0.01 .. labor $ not much for the revenue.[/QUOTE]
