ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19202 Posts	Posted 05/25/2021 08:32 am The garnet color is not that uncommon with wheat cents. Of all the mountains of wheat cents I've gone through over many decades, I've probably seen a few thousand garnet-toned examples. As pointed out, the coin also has some corrosion going on. If you like the coin, keep it. Report this Post to the Staff
