1929 Wheat Cent Found In Change Today

Congrats! I have collected on and off for 40+ years...this and that and finding a Wheat penny in change is what got me back into collecting again after a break of several years.

I got one in change too today, but yours is a much better date than my 1957. Not that yours is really worth more than a few cents, but as uncommon as getting wheats in change is these days, ones from the 20s are even rarer.

Anything pre-1930 in Wheats is awesome. ...so much harder to find than the much more common 30's, 40's, & 50'S !

Gratz ! --

Got this one in change at Walmart today.
This coin has been somewhere for about 97 years, until it ended up at Walmart!
What is more strange is that I have critiqued pocket change and several $100 bags of cents in the early 1960's, and have never found an Indian Head cent, even though they were not yet 97 years old in the 60's!

A F12 example.
It may be not worthy removing the green goo on the coin. 1929 is quite common.

Yes, it is a very nice find!

He does seem to smirk.

I broke open a fresh bank box and went through 3/4 of it today, found a 1925 D, a fun find for me, found a 1929 too, and a 1930 :)

Then incidentally my coworker came into work today with his 1909-1940 collection, missing the 09svdb, 14d, and 31s and wants me to buy it for $300, I don't even know where to start with value. Comes with a flying eagle 1858 stuck in the variety hole. The 1914S looks great, the 1909S looks alright.
