Daylight Images Of 1944 No Mint Mark Wheat Back Pennies

 

I have tons of old wheat back pennies but these 1944 no mint mark cents are among some of the most overpopulated dates out there. These are daylight images so you can see more detail on these circulated condition coins. As you can see some of these can look pretty worn down after they've been in the pockets and cash registers of citizens across the United States.

For instance the wheat penny on the bottom right looks particularly bad. It almost looks like someone tried to cut it in half. I have seen much worse examples though. There are a lot of older coins out there that people deface on purpose, either because they are bored or as experiments in high school science classes or shop class.
