I was lucky enough to find this in pocket change. Not bad condition, either... Grade opinions?

Looks killer, but pics too dark to evaluate.
Rest in Peace

Pics still too dark, sorry. Looking EF or better, but these are like mud.

I'm good with XF45-AU50. Maybe it was from Grandma's collection. Heck, I've intentionally dropped dozens of VF or better early wheat cents into circulation over time--no key or semi-key dates, however.

I think this is at least AU50. Looks almost entirely free of nicks and other marks, too.

Gosh, 106 years and in circulation (again?). I haven't seen a Wheat cent in change for years. Seems mid-AU to me.

Judging by the condition, I would assume that
this coin has not been in circulation for almost all of it's existence.

An old collector's cull ?
