Savvylee New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 05/30/2020 05:22 am Can anyone point me in the right place to get more information about this Lincoln Wheat penny that seems to be just the outline of this head and upper body no facial indentions(features), and missing the last number in the year, from what we can tell the numbers are 194 or possibly 196. Also the feel of the penny itself it smoother than any penny I've ever felf Report this Post to the Staff

fplagge Pillar of the Community United States 659 Posts	Posted 05/30/2020 09:07 am I am not surprised about your smoothness comment ... That is a really well worn coin. I wish I could help you with the coin's date but it is just too far gone for me to tell. Regardless of what the date was, there is no real added value to your coin in that condition. If you like wheat pennies - as I do - perhaps you can just carry it around as a "pocket coin." Oh, and welcome to the forum! Report this Post to the Staff

No doubt the design was there when the coin left the mint, but the years of circulation have worn this down to near basal state. @sl, welcome to CCF!

sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 05/30/2020 11:48 am Looks like it might have been cleaned as well. Clearly not mint state like the color suggests. Or maybe its from rubbing it to let the copper kill bacteria? Like having a lucky silver coin for same purpose. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/30/2020 7:48 pm Notice the color of the coin? It was also cleaned to death. The pink color screams alteration! Report this Post to the Staff
