IMG_1169.webpIMG_1173.webpI have recently found a 1917 S wheat with a round circle like stamp over the "LIBE" in liberty and also on the reverse side of the coin. Under my jewelers loop you can almost make out a B or a D. very interesting! if anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. Sorry these were the best pictures I could get. Cheers!
 
Someone tried to punch a hole in the coin but failed.

I have a 1932 with a W stamped across the front. It is just cool and nothing else.

I think someone punched a hole in it and then they, or someone later on, filled it in with a different metal.
