This is somewhat rare as it is hard to find an Elliptical Clipped Wheat Cent Planchet that has been Struck as centered as this one.

This is a 1945 Wheat Cent and it is graded as a Mint Error MS-64 Red/Brown. (C-3)

This coin weighs 2.2 Grams vs original weight of 3.1 Grams. This is a strong and well centered strike and shows alot of the detail on the Obverse and Reverse.
