Get rid of the brown,..blue.. and all of the white in your pics and just show a large, clear and sharp pic of both sides of this cent.. Just look at other large cent postings here,..and try to do the same.. We can identify this cent "if and when" we can properly see it.. Maybe you do have a special one here..?
