Hello. I was wondering what members would consider the grades of these 3 coins would be? I'm new to trying to figure out the grades of coins and opinions on grades of these 3 coins would be a good start as reference coins.

1946S LWC. Found Roll Hunting.

1909P VDB. A friend sent this to me with a small lot of wheat cents. It does appear to be cleaned. To bad.

1926S Was included in the lot with the 1909P VDB

46 S = net an AU53 because of the scratches - otherwise would be a 63RB

09 VDB - XF - almost AU, but the reverse ding hurts it.

26 S - G - these are known for a weak strike.

Ty for the reply acloco. for the 09...I believe it looks to be cleaned. How much does cleaning of a coin such as this affect the grade? Or am I wrong and the coin does not appear to be cleaned? I do not clean coins...it was the way I received it.

ZERO

Grade is determined by WEAR on circulated coins.

Thank you all for the replies. Very much appreciated.

I knew cleaning affected the value but I was not sure if it affected how it was graded. Now I have that answered.

On a side note...BadThad...I'm loving the Verdi-care. Fantastic product.
