I've been thinking about starting a collection of wheat cents. I may put this one back still yet.

Rjeezy91, seeing the reverse, I agree that this looks like PMD. I can sure see why this one made you pause, though. I'm not sure what caused the damage, but there is a lot more surface pitting and damage than I would expect from circulation alone.

Good luck and keep hunting!

Maybe this coin was stored in an acidic environment for a long time? Looks quite pitted. Every couple of boxes of pennies I go through, I find one that is acid eaten.

@josephm99 yeah, it's very possible because when you shine it in the light just right. It looks like there's a substance on there. That's why at first I thought it was a Struck Through Grease error.
