First Wheat Cent with Simplex! 1910

[Richard Guy]

As the title reads, a very, very almost smooth Lincoln Cent, 1910. This penny had to be in the ground for quite some time, ... about 10 inches down and pocked with green corrosion. 72 Target ID. Up to this point, the oldest coin found was dated 1970, ... this find is far from typical here. I used Coca-Cola to remove enough corrosion to view the faint date. No mint mark, a Philly Penny.
