Hey guys I was at the gas station last night and noticed some pennies on the counter for those that run over by 1 cent.
I saw this rather light brown penny there,obverse facing up. Right away I knew it was a wheat and very old from the color of it. It wasn't the standard color of a 40's-50's wheat.
So I put a nickel down and took 5 pennies. Out by the pumps under the light I tried to read the date but old age isn't kind,even with my glasses on.
I figured on the way home it had to be at least a 1930's wheat and if I was lucky it would be a 20's.
So when I got home the magnifing glass revealed a 1920 wheat!!!
Just thought I'd share some pics of it.
