Strange worn wheatie

[dieharddigger]

Wanted to go out yesterday after work,but didn't have the time so I hit my back yard (postage stamp size) found the turquoise and coral ring,silver plate with most of the silver gone. Went today and hit a nice 1866 two center. Then I found the wheat penny not sure about it though. It is smooth on the back side and the front is also super worn. It is a little bigger than a dime and smaller than a wheat penny. It is also a little thinner than a dime. Could it be that worn? Any idea's?

Sweet finds! The 2 center looks in good condition. No idea on the smooth wheatie. (Smooth Wheatie.....sounds like a health drink!)

I've actually found a couple like that too! One was in the teens...I'm thinking a 1913. Looks just like yours.

I've seen some worn pennies(roll hunting) and they do suffer for size. Very cool to see a 2-cent in WI, it gives me hope. Do you get many large cents(it's one of my goals for the year)??

Gold Fish, This is actually my second 2 center for the year. I found one on New Years day. No large cents for me,but my buddy has recovered two.

Very nice 2 center. Can't wait to find one.
As for the wheat. I think there was a bad crop of wheat that year , due to a late freeze, and massive rains. That is why the wheat never fully grew right. At least that's my opinion.
Great pictures by the way.

Looks like that wheatie has passed through a lot of hands and has been around the world and back.

Nice finds, I especially like the 2 Cent Piece.
