Yellzaboff Valued Member United States 189 Posts	Posted 08/08/2018 8:57 pm I have more than a few wheat cents and have never seen one like this. First, the coin front and back has a gold glitter look to it. Secondly, I weighed it and it weighs 2.74g. My worst worn Wheat cent comes in considerably higher weight. Thoughts? As always, thanks for your time Report this Post to the Staff
