1906?

Poor baby!

 

I see 1896 maybe

 

could be, now that I look at it again: I agree

 

Looks like 1896 .

 

You cared enough to share it and that's a good thing. It found it's way to a good home. Thanks

 

I don't have a picture, so I guess it didn't happen (I forgot to take a picture with my cellphone, lol), but yours is better than the first one I found in our garden, as a kid. It was deteriorated and green. I had it for years, but somewhere along my journey, it either took another trail, or decided to put down roots!

 

Much better than a Zincoln.

 

Do a paper rubbing, maybe that will help.

 

At least we know it was an Indian Head cent. LOL

 

Poor Indiana what has he been through.

 

Correction to above:
I hit the wrong key and it looks like @RichBuck made the statement about Plastic Mills: Age=Dyslectic Fingers!!!

Immerse the coin in water and then look at it in good light with a thin layer of water on top of it. I've found that to make date determination significantly easier.
