While sorting another bulk of wheat pennies, I came across this guy. He was unmistakable when I went through the lot (about 80% finished)

I posted this because I thought you guys may find this to be cool. However, I also noticed this coin is slightly magnetic, so I was wondering if that would be a result of a nickel plating. Notice how someone etched a cigar into lincolns mouth, and it seems that whoever did this etched their initials into the back, C.M . This coin seems to be in great shape, with full lines in the wheat stalks. I was kinda mad when I found this, because until I saw the date, I thought I picked out a Mint State steel penny! (Don't know if they look like this in person, thought!). Not a dang scratch on this coin - except a couple (bag marks?) on the reverse, and what this guy did to it!
