 If you "Throw it back in the bucket with all of the other common wheat pennies." You will just find it again |

Agree, keep it in a 2x2, with proper notation. A fun curiosity.

I agree with the 2x2.  I would not spend or otherwise return to circulation. It will just make another person sad. |

I would throw it in my "fake" jar. It includes counterfeits and altered coins.

I had some that I heated and removed the copper. The zinc is already gone, they strip them before they copper plate them. They were still damaged, but didn't look much different than other circulated steel cents.

My preference is to cut it in half so nobody can find it again and post in the forums.

The next time you're on vacation, look for an elongated coin rolling machine and turn the coin into a fancy souvenir.  |
