I am a bit puzzled about this coin... It looks fake but seems legit, can someone tell me about this pretty penny. Found this coin roll hunting and is it something worth value? Or is this a common find? It does have scrathces but I more interested in the color, is it rare to find wheat pennies like this or...   |

 to CCF. Does not look wizzed to me. It looks improperly cleaned,like someone used mayo or ketchup on it. That kind of cleaning make it look like your coin. Value one cent or copper value. John1  |

Makes me always wonder why anyone would spend time cleaning a common coin.

It reminds of what a cent looks like when it meets a pencil eraser. Cleaned, for sure. For me it is still a Wheat cent to be kept, not spent. A potential pocket piece.  |
