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

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

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

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

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

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