Wheat pennies were designed by Victor D. Brenner and and were only minted from 1909 to 1958. I am not quite sure what coin you have, but with a date of 1830 it is not a wheat penny. Wheat pennies have the bust of Lincoln on the obverse side and wheat shafts on either side of the reverse.
by flipping over the penny and looking at the back. if its a wheat penny its got designs on each side of the writing which is different than a regular penny
You can identify if a penny is a wheat penny from 1953 by looking at the reverse (tails) side of the coin. If it has two wheat ears framing the words "ONE CENT" and the image of the Lincoln Memorial, then it is a wheat penny from 1953. Wheat pennies were minted from 1909 to 1958 and are recognizable by the wheat ears on the reverse side.

If it looks like a Wheat cent reverse and Mercury dime obverse what you have is a magic coin used in slight of hand tricks and has no collectible value.
A wheat penny is any Lincoln cent that was made between 1909 and 1958. The back of a wheat penny says, "One Cent", and it has a picture of two ears of wheat on either side of these words. Earlier (Indian head) cents and any cents dated 1959 or later aren't wheat cents.
Uh, the person whose head is on the front of the coin is Abraham Lincoln, not Wheat. There are 2 wheat ears (just ears, not heads, LOL!) on the reverse side of the coin. In any case, if your coin is worn from circulation it would retail for roughly a dime at most.
A wheat penny with only the wheat side is missing the other side, which is the most valuable part of the coin. Its value would be significantly lower than a complete wheat penny, typically only a few cents.
A 1943 penny with a kangaroo on one side is an Australian penny. These can be worth 3.00 dollars or more depending on the condition of the coin.
What's the value of a 1995 Canadian penny with Queen Elizabeth II on one side and 2 leaves on the other
The other date 2002 is at the bottom ( same side ) of the coin. 1803 is the year Ohio became a state. It's just a quarter, spend it.
It is a mule.
