Re: Lincoln wheat w hole in neck?
Someone may have shot it with a BB . . . I have a 1937 Wheat Penny with 3 BB shot marks on the coin (Not through the coin, but holed)

Re: Lincoln wheat w hole in neck?
This looks like someone used a nail punch and punch it.
A BB is not strong enough to do that much damage.
And usually when a coin has a hole in it someone punched a hole in it for a necklace.

Re: Lincoln wheat w hole in neck?
I agree with Paul, we need REV pics.
A BB hole would be rounded and likely not as deep (my juvenile self enjoyed using pennies, as well as other things, to see how powerful different BB guns were). There is probably a corresponding bump on the REV side. Almost certainly post mint damage, the REV image will make it easier to tell.
The front does look like it was hit with a punch or even a crude square nail which which would be more contemporary to the cent itself.
