BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 04/19/2015 01:14 am I found this 1917-D wheatie in a local pawn shop today for $1.50. There is evidence of corrosion near the center of the reverse and it's surely been cleaned at some point but for a buck and a half I took the gamble. I am quite impressed with the quality of the strike on both surfaces and believe it makes VF20. Grades and comments welcome. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/19/2015 06:38 am There is evidence of corrosion near the center of the reverse: could that be a minor LAM? It does look like it has been clean but the strike looks above average. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 04/19/2015 7:52 pm I'm feeling a VF-25 solid on this one. VERY nice Denver mint coin. They get to be difficult once you find them in VF+ conditions. Old cleaning I agree. Report this Post to the Staff
rage1398 Valued Member 136 Posts	Posted 04/19/2015 8:51 pm VF, I think it has a wood grain pattern, mainly seen on the reverse. Also appears to be cleaned years ago. Edited by rage1398 04/19/2015 8:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff

It could be, I'm not sure but for $1.50 it's a nice little coin to look at. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
GoldenIslesCoins Valued Member United States 194 Posts	Posted 04/28/2015 4:55 pm This coin was a XF and then someone cleaned it up. Now it's more like a VF30. But for $1.50 why not Report this Post to the Staff
