This penny looks like someone's art project. Do you think they were trying to make a wreath around Lincoln's head?

Last week I got a 1912 which is my oldest crh find. I also have a 1914, 1915 d, and 2 1918 s pennies from this year representing the teens. but thats just crh.....  I would have to say my best find was a 1926 canadian cent. I cant grade but it does have a full crown.  Sorry Canadians, I beat you to it.

Did another box hoping Thursday's luck would carry over, but clearly it didn't. Only got 6 wheats, all 40s and 50s with the only notable ones being a red 1950-D which unfortunately had a black blob behind Lincoln's shoulder (put it in my coin folder anyway)and a heavily corroded 1948-? (can't make out the mintmark). There were 6 Canadians as well. All Elizabeth. They were 1997, 1989, 1987, 1967, 1965 x2.

Found my 4th 1919 dated cent yesterday - 5 wheats in 1000 coins... so now I have 2 Phillys, a Denver and a San Fran.

Wow john! My oldest PDS set is 1939, but I obviously got lucky on the 1939 D. Keep it up!

Nice 37-D, illegaltender! That one looks like about an EF-45... probably worth $1.50 or so based on the 2017 Red Book.
