It's definitely cleaned, and looks a bit corroded too. I hope you didn't pay more than a buck or two for it. EDIT: But you paid $10.78, not a good buy at all in my opinion.

I wouldn't have bought it :goof: There is no price too cheap for a problem coin. I think it might be in your best interest to get wheat pennies that aren't cleaned/corroded/dirty/damaged, or anything else. Stick with buying nice, quality coins, it is better to buy for quality than quantity.
I agree. Thats why I shoud stay away from ebay and impulse buys like this. Bid on this around the same time as the 1909s. I agree I should not have bid on it.
