PinkSwitchblade New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 10/31/2021 09:54 am My husband found a 1940's Wheat penny at an old house he was remolding back in the summer. We have taken several photos and still can not tell exactly what the date is. It's in fairly good condition considering but it does have some wear, so I don't know if it may also have a dye crack on both sides or the age of it. Can someone please help?

It is definitely a 1945 . Report this Post to the Staff
