Thank you ill try posting better pic. But at the middle that leaf. Wraps around clear to the top. I thought they were digs to until I look closer the 3 to 4 leafs that was missing from the wheat is at the edge

Sorry, but that little piece of copper has taken a lot of hits over the years. There is no visible evidence of anything "extra" on the wheat stalk. There is more than ample evidence of this coin having a lot of "wear and tear" over the decades.

The question to ask yourself is this: How could what I see on this coin have happened during the manufacturing of this coin?

Time for coffee.

Welcome to tnet its good to always look for errors take it to a coin dealer is the best net. I have found many errors are wear but some are not I hope it is an error coin!!!!!!!!!!!1

I would think that if there was a die shift or a double die then the U and the O would be seen doubled into the wheat stalk. I would say it is post mint smearing of the raised wheat stalk due to rough handling.
