    The coin that somehow seems to be hidden in the OP's Google Mail account. ;) Welcome to Coin Talk, @downundercowboy! But yes, the image does not display. Try using the attachment function ("Upload a File" button) instead ...

    Man it's old, I'm kind of nervous about divulging to much information. It's war time.

    Interesting reverse. I think posting the obverse will help the Lincoln cent specialists help you more sir.

    Looks like it could be slide doubling or flat field doubling, but we'd probably need better photos of both sides, and the year of the coin.

    WOW okay thanks so much. The front doesn't look as good, more just blurry. And the it looks like it got squished at the mint on the sides.[​IMG]

    It certainly looks damaged at the 2 o'clock position on the reverse. That last picture didn't upload.

    Try uploading the picture from your computer, not from photobucket.

    Common date wheat cent, lots of post mint damage. Could also have been minted with a worn die, would explain some of the reverse issues.

    Yeah I wish I had a way to take better picture. And wish I could let you see what I see on the out side rim with my magnifying glass where it has kinda been squished. It kinda look like part of " IN GOD WE TRUST" the US in trust. Thank you for your answers. But what is a good grading company, I look on line at NGC and PCGS. Any suggestions?

    It looks as if someone over polished it.
