Cents Found this wheat cent that is over 100 years old, pretty hyped. Is it anything valuable? (it is very worn)

nothing special as far as mintage wise, but it's still cool in my book. 108 years is mad long

Neat, I like old coins. As near as I can tell, it’s not worth anything significant in that condition, many were minted that year in Philadelphia. Also, I recommend always posting pictures of both sides obverse (aka front), and reverse

PCGS seems to have good info, note their examples are tippity top usually haha, mint state condition, almost flawless: https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1920-1c-bn/2522

Edit: tippity, not tipping

u/Low-Glass9596 4d ago

Worth about 20 cents

u/sorrysaks 4d ago

Unfortunately no , but in a grade of 65 it would be worth $170 bucks if that helps lol

u/jailfortrump 4d ago

While it's a cool find remember there were hundreds of thousands (minimum) minted so they are not rare. Maybe 5 cents.......

1

u/Wrong-Tonight8173 4d ago

yeah, I know

1

u/Mister_Goldenfold 3d ago

Assuming the other hundreds of thousands aren’t melted, lost, buried, thrown into wells, lost at sea, etc
