I don't think it's a mint error, sorry, but it looks like circulation damage to me. Always nice to find wheats in change though.
 
i dunno, can you post a picture with more detail? it looks like a die crack to me, but if it is pinched in instead of what i think i see, then it is post mint
 
It appears the metal is sheared and pushed to the side.
I vote post mint. Keep your eyes peeled though,
Wheat errors are fairly common, I've collected half a roll of minor errors.
HH All!
 
Not sure about the error but this find is ironic, I dug a 1945 D "wheaty" at a local swimming beach yesterday

You can tell from the damage to the wheat ear, 100% post mint damage.
 
Maybe one of our MD colleagues found it (hence the mark from their digging instrument) then chucked it in with other spare change...... :tongue3: :laughing9:
