1945 D Wheat 1 1

[Duzzitmatter]

I was checking out a ton of wheats I have and well I just don't know so I'm here asking.

1945 D Wheat cent.

There is a weird looking "corral" around the majority of the 9, 4 and D.

What say you.

Thanks ahead of time

It would be easier to answer your question with a simple full coin photo of the obv and rev not this terrible microscope shot.     But it looks like some glue or similar substance on the surface, an acetone bath would likely remove the glue.

Just something on the coin, whatever it is, it didn’t happen when the cent was struck.

Also as Coinbuf no red, do NOT use screen shots, they are too pixilated to see small detail.
