toxicandbiohazard New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 02/09/2016 02:11 am I found this Wheat cent and it's well dark it's doesn't look copper like not to me atleast. It doesn't look silver or steel and I was wondering if it was something valuable or ... Anyways here are the pictures it's almost black but not really kind of purple I want to say but it not that either. I took these it different lighting hoping to give you a better idea what it might look light I didn't use flash in any though. Thank you very much for your time and help Report this Post to the Staff
