nice one man...do u keep all your wheat like this? how about those green ones do u clean them too?
When I was a kid I had a coin collection, not sure what happen to it. I really just got back into this so yes I now put all my coins I want to keep in coin holders. The green ones I found last year I didn't want to keep so to answer your question stingray, yes if they clean up nice and I want to keep them.

Only a year off from being a steel cent. Nice find!
I'll wonder if anyone here has actually found a steel cent? I haven't but it would be pretty neat.

I have found two. But both were toasted so bad you hardly could tell what it was.
A steel cent would be nice to have in your coin collection. You could always buy coins but I think it's more fun to find, clean up and put them away.

I have found about 10 steel cents corroded next to wheat cents or silver coins.
Congrats on the wheatie.

That penny looks real nice! Good job cleaning it up. Should do a before and after pic next time.
That's a real shame. Toasted meaning burnt?
Thanks Wampus Cat.
I saw this web page that shows some 1944 copper's could be some good money too.Nice.. found one myself today detecting. Have not cleaned it up yet..
Great! You should post a picture when you have time.

Am I missing something. There were just under 1.5 billion no mint 44's minted and they are only worth up to $6 if in mint condition. Why would you send it out to get tested?
And I'm not being a jerk I'm just confused. I love wheats and love digging them and keep every one I dig.

It's not steel. I read someplace if it's a 1943 or 1944 copper then it could be worth something. I really don't know. I want to take it someplace to have someone that knows coins take a look at it. If I you can tell by this picture if it's anything? That would be great. Thanks
probably only worth 15 cents to $6 LOL

Steel would stick to a magnet. But also would have rusted in the ground. I know some people were copper plating the steel penny's trying to pass them off as copper 43's.
Either way man a wheat of any kind is a good find in my book. Congrats on the wheat and nice clean job.
