I think this is a 1910 Wheatie

Swinging in my backyard again... found what looks to be a 1910 or 1919 Wheatie, it's

pretty toasted but I can make out most of the date. This would be my oldest find so far!

Old one! Hydrogen Peroxide it overnight and see if it clears up any....

Good job. It looks like 1910
It fun finding your oldest coin.

Yep looks like 1910 to me too, Nice early wheatie, Congrats!
I put them all in the tumbler, they usually come out looking good.

I have to lean towards 1919..... Notice in a 1910 that none of the zero is lower than the 'body' of the "9".... I think yours is a second "9". Could be wrong though....

I scrutinized the date, and I have come to the conclusion that it is 1919, not 1910.. still my oldest!

Fertilizer is terribly hard on copper coins! Nice recovery!
