i got this 1920 wheat in a ahdful of change at a mcdonalds today, it has a odd shape on the backside, it has a ridge as if it didn't get pressed all the way. What do you think the value of this could be?, it doesn;t show upwhen i take a picture so i will do the best to describe.from half way on the C o cent to the very bottom of the e in one, it is rasied and is a diaginal (sp) line, from one side to the bottom. If there is someone that is pretty good with this kinda of stuff and could share someinsight i would be willing to send it out to get looked at.

Really hard without a picture, but it sounds like a lamination error ... a form of planchet flaw caused by imperfections in the metal, whereby a thin strip of the metal separates itself from the coin. These are relatively common and unless they produce a dramatic visual effect, they don't add much of a premium to the coin.
