1926 Wheat Cent in change

I got a 1926 Philadelphia wheat cent in change yesterday (11/19). It looks
to be in F+ condition but has a couple of small scratches on the reverse.
It is the first really old cent I've found in a long time.

Congratulations! I found a 1930 today, in a roll search. I'm now
averaging 1 wheat cent in every $2.37 I search. It's rare, however, to
find one dated before 1940, this is only the second one in three years,
for me. The other came in transaction change!
