I certainly don’t recall ever before seeing such a 100+ year old cent in change like this one. I have half a tube or more of 1918 circulation find cents and none are even close to this one. Must have been hanging out in a piggy bank for most of its life. Odd coloring on the obv, but nice details on both sides.
Very nice. The color may reflect a brassier mix in the alloy. With the end of the one cent in commerce, somebody may have dumped a long-held penny jar.
