Oldest Wheat Cent you've found in circulation

My 1903 Indian Head is in better shape, but yours is so much older. Wonder what it is worth?

Why do you think it was cleaned?

 

It's not pretty but it qualifies.
1909

 

Found a 1909!

 

It has a shiny hue to it. I’ll take a better pic.




Was just take a pic of the 1859. And notice it’s a lot thicker the all of my other??!

‘59 on the left and 1900 on the right

 

1918

 

Just went out metal detecting found a 1920 wheat cent.

 

1926

 

1916. But date very faded.

 

Wow. I was thinking about doing the metal detector thing. Where do you go to hunt? What's a good brand for a metal detector?

 

1926

 

2 1909 Lincoln cents................. still waiting for a 1909 Victor David Benner, VDB!

 

That's Victor D Brenner to be correct.

 

The IH's minted 1859 to 1864 were made of Copper Nickel and are much thicker. Those from 1864 on were bronze and somewhat thinner.

 

Interesting!
