It's a wheat cent.
Looked up on wildwinds.com, looks very similar to Aquileia RIC 7a, viiia.
Here's another one that I just cleaned some crud off of...says something on the reverse, almost looks like it says "SHAOS"?

Incuse die wear. Not a doubled die. Keep up the hunt!
Hi folks. :smile Here's another tutorial that will hopefully help people in determining what they have. Today we will be learning about incuse...
