Brutalized. Worth copper value.

How about the original aged marks? Especially the hair?

Looks like some of its scrapes are older than others, old enough to have patinated over.

Agreed.  That cent has had a very hard life.  No premium.

Even if it was in a high Mint State (like a 66), that's a common coin.

Indeed it is.  1950's Wheats are about as common as you can get.

Welcome to the forum, Travis.  Although it may be  hard to believe that a 60+ year old coin is only worth its metal content value, it is indeed the case. What the others have said is true. In the world of wheat cents, coins from the 1950s are the most common, being available by the bagful for not much more than face value.

The exception being a 1955 Double Die of course, and that is easily identifiable in hand (you'll think your vision is blurry).  This would be a nice find!
