Looks like a nice honest circulated Wheat cent in G-6 condition. No obvious signs of corrosion or damage. A nice find!

Looks normal, agree G-06, pretty much just a filler.
Rest in Peace

My observation of this coin is '' Worn and Beat to smithereens '' . G-04+ .

I consider it a hole-filler.
At some time in the future you could replace it with a better coin.
And then keep it as a "I remember when ..." coin.

In my experience it can be a bit challenging to find these out in the wild without any corrosion, so even a worn G-6 is in my view a very nice coin if problem free particularly if found in a roll, i.e. acquisition cost 1 cent! It's a 50 to 75 cent coin but consider that if it had a D mintmark, same date, it would be worth $150 or so in this grade.
