Well done!
Acetone may remove those foreign substances from the reverse.

Incredible find! Congratulations! Soaking it in 100% pure Acetone (not nail polish remover, just the regular stuff) might remove all of the gunk on it. It's 100% safe to do. It will not harm your coin. I found a 1909 Philadelphia VDB Lincoln Wheat cent in a coin wrapped roll last year for face value. Came from a box of pennies from the bank. http://goccf.com/t/354136Errers and Varietys.

When they changed the Cent from wheat to memorial, a lot of regular people hoarded them thinking they would be valuable some day... Now a days I think a lot of people are inheriting bags of cents from their grandparents and all they see are a bunch of old brown pennies, so they take them to the bank and dump them...

Mtuma3, probably. I am finding so much more Wheat Cents as of lately. I remember like two or 3 weeks ago, I finished a box and ended up finding 24 Wheats from the box.

That's exceptionally cool! A friend of mine got an IHC in change at a restaurant and he was like "oh this is a funny looking penny". Talked him into letting me have it, and let him know he just experienced a one in 10 million event. He's religious too and was always trying to talk me into becoming more so. Almost enough to make me a true believer!  Edited by fenton

@Keith12 - Ref the MM, I've been around long enough that nothing surprises me.
@T-Bop - Yes it does, and not a good attempt
@Fenton - Also nice change
