Metal detected on my grandmoms property and found a old penny that we can't identify looks like its 1916 my dad thinks it may be a 1919 or 1959 the tail side is so worn out you can't even tell if its a wheat
 
Idk how well you can tell from this best pic I could take but we are almost positive this is a 1919 wheat penny

Use the macro(flower) function on your camera and try taking another picture.
 
If you can see a VDB under the shoulder, it's at least a 1918. In the condition it's in, it won't be worth anything anyway, regardless of year.
