Right said, Fred.
I don't think the heavy circulation wear helps, either
Too many times through the Maytag.
All of the above.
This piece likely did not even have lines in the wheat ears when it was struck.

Are there such collectors that collect weak strikes because the guy I got these from must hav3 loved them because I have many early Wheaties like this
Yeap 1925 S is fun to look for a good strike.

An old, worn cent that likely had a weak strike to begin with... just supporting all the above... Cheers, RickO
