In numismatic parlance "front of penny" would be stated obverse of cent. U.S. coinage technically does not include "pennies". It does look like Good detail with a bit of woodgrain (striping) effect from a poor alloy of metals in the planchet. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/09/2022 10:19 am Sure it's a keeper, but retail value is only around 20-25 cents. Report this Post to the Staff
