ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19114 Posts	Posted 04/15/2025 3:07 pm Yes, this coin has seen much, much wear over many years of circulation. As such, lettering very close to the rims begins to 'disappear'. If coins could talk. In terms of value (because of its age and much circulation wear, including scratches on the reverse), this Wheat cent would fall in the 10-20 cent range. Report this Post to the Staff
