While walking through a parking lot earlier today, I saw this wheat penny staring back at me. Regardless if it was minted in 1916 or 1946, it pays to keeps your eyes open!

Thanks, I agree it looks more like 1916. Hard to imagine that was still in circulation.

You'd be sirpizsed how long they get carried around. My daughter found a 1800s ihp in the coinstar once. She got one before I did lol.

Coins are still out there in circulation. You just have to keep your eyes peeled, like you did. About 5 years ago, my wife found an Indian Head penny sitting on a seat at a Florida airport.

Congrats for your wife finding the IHP in a highly travelled location.

Thanks for the 1916 vote. I'd take a 1950s wheat penny too.
