  You just found it 22 years too late.
  
  A wheat is a wheat!

  Let's try not to get upset.

  DAM good find...true a wheat is a wheat but your likely to find a 44 P because there were 1.4 billion (that's a lot for that era) minted in Phillly.

  So now I suppose this proud survivor, doing commerce through the waning days of WW2, a young red whippersnapper.... Created from the very shell cases that blew the pants off the Nazis......this proud coin worked hard for a half a century. Enduring and outlasting all of its friends...an old worn out old man....his last gasps at commerce, now reduced in buying power to 1/20th of what he ONCE could do....like an old relic valued more for his copper than his importance~~~~~~and now you have taken him and chucked him into a cAn. So sad so sad

  Actually he resides in a place of prominence on my counter top. Waiting to be placed back into circulation, to be found again. This time, hopefully, by a young person who's interest in collecting will be sparked, because of him.

  Wheat cent finds are cool, I find an average of two a month in change. So far, no rarities, but I look at them all - and save them. Cheers, RickO

  You guys are right, When I did some shows I handed out wheat backs to all the kids that came to the show and stopped at my table. I should put a few of these a month into circulation again. I just don't want the cashier to pocket them.
  Thanks for the Idea. I have had a can of them for years doing nothing in my closet.
