    Any idea what it could be worth?

    So I found this 1912 wheat cent while sorting through a bunch of wheat pennies and right away passed it off as a wartime steel cent because of the color and I guess I didn't notice the date because of how dirty it is but it looks to me like its missing its clad layer.

    Got this in change from McDonalds today, a circulated hole filler for my circulated wheat penny album. Too bad about the rim....

    Cent have NEVER been clad. The original "copper" cent is a mixture of copper, zinc and tin. In 1982 they made both copper cents and zinc core, copper plated cents.

    I'm in the process of having Todd (BluCC) take a bunch(80) of images of some Lincolns. Here's a taste he just sent. blu11D.jpg

    1961 Lincoln Cent (Proof). I just got this cherry-picked 1961 Lincoln Proof back from PCGS where it graded PR67RB. I pulled this from an Original Government Packaged (OGP) Proof Set that I bought from my local "bricks and mortar" (b&m) coin dealer for $35. Subtracting out the melt value of the silver, which amounts to about $20. This monster Lincoln Cent only set me back about $15. A huge bargain for a PCGS PR67 with this much striking color.

    Just a quick question -- do you think the coin is a 64 or 65? It looks stunning either way, but I always have a feeling that PCGS always knocks lincoln cents down a notch when cross-grading to make themselves look superior.

    They didn't see the slab. I cracked it out and sent it raw. I think it is a 65, but they've seen a lot more than I have. It might be because it is a late die state.

    Here are my photos.
