Unfortunate fingerprint "damage". That may have been why it was returned to circulation.

lol I definitely agree with you on that one. Unfortunately that's how I found it  . Other than that and a small amount of wear on the reverse I think it's in really well condition for being circulated.

It's unfortunate about the fingerprint, but still a nice find.  I would still keep it, since it's a Wheat cent.
Errers and Varietys.

No, no light enhancing it. Honestly I was shocked when I seen it. At first I thought it was a newer penny until I seen the date and along with that the unfortunate fingerprint. It's in almost uncirculated condition except for a small amount of wear on the reverse at the top in E PLURIBUS.

Is it a DDR? Looks to have an elongated "dot" in your last picture.

No DDR that I can recognize after examining it further.

 to the CCF Agreed on the unfortunate finger print. Otherwise a nice roll find.
