    It has a prominent rim and very colorful. It's dark green on the reverse and red orange on the front. And if you look very closely you can see streaking with the green also maybe a error because of the streaking maybe it's of metal. 1584244799542398810095799265457.jpg 15842446982372340249091279157436.jpg

    Hate when that bubble gets popped. It happens a lot around here.

    I thought 20c was quite generous. ~ Chris

    Yeah, I think @Islander80-83 won this round of bidding.

    I wasn't trying to pop anyone's bubble! The guy asked a question.

    I'd go a quarter due to the toning but I'd be lying.

    I'd go a quarter too, but it would have to include free shipping!

    You didn't, reality did. I would have told him to throw it back into circulation. I guess I just did.

    If I were in coin collecting for the money, I would be broke now. I like to collect coins that are common. I have many duplicates and when I get a better quality coin for my collection, I throw the other coin in my wife's jar. I don't just collect common coins. I have some very valuable coins, mostly from my inheritance from my father that I split with my brother. Those collectors that look for cracks and bubbles and other coin errors have my sympathy if that is all they look for when they get a new coin. Isn't the collecting of coins supposed to be for enjoyment? Best of luck to those that are still looking for the 1909 S VDB Lincoln cent. If I get one, it will only be from pure dumb luck, because I don't go out looking for something very expense that only I can enjoy. My wife's collection hobby is to see how fast she can fill a quart jar with pocket change and I give her my pocket change after I take out coins that I like.

    I'm at .03 cents. The condition does not warrant .10-.20 cents.

    Ok people. Some people, like me love toned coins. I think if you took good pictures and put ot on EBay you would get $10 to $15. But when you ask whats it worth? What the collector wants to pay. Isnt that the way these sales go?

    I like those colors, when I see streaks like that, the term 'woodgrain' pops in my mind.

    While the reverse may be XF, the obverse shows unusual wear and is VF.
    Despite the toning, this is a common circulated wheat cent. It would have to
    be XF/AU on both sides to command a premium.
