1926s Wheat?

Picked up a penny box today. Think I found a 1926s. Tried playing with the color to get it to show. Lets see what everyone else thinks. Is it or am I imagining the "s"?

Pretty rough over all. As I found it.

I think I see an S

 

Could be but it's really hard to tell.

 

I also see what might be an S, but the surface of the coin is really rough. At best it's a hole filler coin.

 

I think I would put it back in the roll....

 

I also see an S, but the coin is in crappy condition.

 

I see a skull and crossbones on the left side of Lincoln and a crude map of the Phillipines on the right side. But no "S".

 

I think the S is clearer than the 6 in the date

I`d say your coins is worth about $0.02 compared to this

 

I see the S. Looking pretty beat up though.

 

I see the skull too.

 

Well, at least it's a semi-key date

 

I see dead people.

 

Holding it up close the 6 is more visible than the S, but agreed its rough as heck. Not sure there is still $0.02 in copper left. Lotsa green on it. Looks like it was stuck in the dirt for 50 years.
