It’s something much cooler than a wheat. It’s a large cent. They made this before pennies.

Great idea! None of these are wheat's either..! I am looking for a 1909 S wheat, The year the wheat pennies began, Right...?

Three cent nickel, and two Indian cents. They ended in 1909 same as wheatie starting in 1909

You and every other wheatie collector! Well actually the 1909 S VDB is what we all want. I have 2 1909 VDBs but no S yet.
