The following scan shows a very battered 1966 I found in my noodling.
It looks distinctly "wavey" (more so to the eye than the scan). But, it is NOT a wavey 2!
Check the scan and you can see it has suffered a couple of hits on the bottom stroke of the 2 that have displaced some metal upward almost to the perfect wavey shape.
However the water swirl above is straight, without the corresponding cutout to match the wavey 2 shape. And the down stroke of the 2 does not have the narrowing where it meets the bottom stroke. Compare it with the photo of a genuine wavey 2.
For the assistance of anyone wanting help with identification of this scarce, and desirable, variety.

Very likely. The obverse is worse!

Tell ya what Jeff just send me the coin in the bottom pic, It will help me with the identification of this error (and fill a hole HeHeHe).
The top one looks like it's Mother never loved it anyway:cool:
Not being a variety collector, I didn't know that about the line above the wavy base.
Thanks for enlightening me.
Hi Trout,
I could send you the first coin to drop in your well. But it has already gone back where it came from.
