Little known fact, that is actually kieth's 5 great cousin Ezequiel Wet Feather pictured on that penny.  I wondered about that several times. But didn't feel it was right to ask.

Nice find and in good condition, you don't find those in the wild too often. I found a 1943P war nickel (30% silver) in change a few days ago, another coin not common in change. I think the last one I got in change i was in 6th grade, 46 years ago. Not to nitpick but 35 percent silver. Cool coin sam. I buy every one I can get for 2 bucks or less. I don't look to hard though

I used to have a pile of buffalo nickles that were maybe worth 6 cents each, I'd throw them into my spending change every once and a while just to make someone elses day just a little more interesting.

You reminded me of a joke my grandfather used to tell. He always carried a buffalo nickel, and would show it to us and ask us what it was worth. His answer was that it was only worth 4 cents, because if you flipped the coin around you would see that the indians nose is stuck the buffalos butt. Goofy joke, but I still get a laugh out of it.

Just got this in my change. Not too uncommon to find a wheat, but haven't seen one of these for a long time. I've seen them in collections that my father in law had 50 years ago , but never found one in change! Very nice find, and it's in good to very good condition.

Very cool! I know nothing about old coins or currency but I have squirreled some away but nothing as old as yours.
I have nothing clever to put here.

I found a 1873 one of those somewhere (didn't dig it out of the dirt) but it was in poorer condition than that one. I think I sold it for $3.50 on ebay and gave good photos of the front and back (scanned the penny).
The guy bought it for his dad and his dad was po'd at the condition and was going to ask for a refund but then relented because I did say in the description that it was probably fair condition at best.
I suspect that old man is dead but I'm still here so how that penny scored in the end doesn't matter to him much anymore...
P.S. Very cool find. I hope you find another!!
