found a wheat penny

[Kype]

boring drery day. saw the metal detector so took it out and found copper. a wheat penny. cant make out the date. so somewhere between 1906 and 1955.  still way older then i am.

was about 6 inches down. you can just make out the "one cent" 

my house was built in 1890. and still havent had time to metal detect the rest of it. must be much more around or maybe and hopefully some silver.

In that condition it’s probably worth 2-3 cents.

not worried about what its worth. its history. someone long before i moved here dropped it and its been sitting there ever since.

Don't forget to pay the tax to the IRS on that or they'll be taking your guns for a felony

Now how in the heck did you determine that.

Make sure you clean it with electrolysis:-)

Disagree with the 51 d. Wouldn't show that deterioration like that. The mint change the metal composites. I think the last copper pennies for 1949.
