Hello... I'm just getting back into the hobby and had these 2 coins from when I was little. After looking at them today, something appears off to me with the luster on both and I'm wondering if they have been "cleaned" or otherwise would be a "details" graded coin. This is the 1909:   and this is the 1928   Really appreciate the help, I feel like I'm able to spot the obvious harshly cleaned coins but I'm not sure about these 2. If you have tips on what to look for on these that would help too. |

I don't see any signs of cleaning on either of them.

They look okay to me. Copper cents tend to get really ugly when cleaned.

I suspect they're not cleaned. Looking rather good!

Looks like AU examples. Straight grades.

They both look uncleaned to me. I think they have that R&B 63/64 look and are nice examples. I wouldn't be ashamed if they were mine!

They're fine. They haven't been cleaned.  Errers and Varietys.

Actually, they are both very nice looking wheat cents. Thanks for sharing them with us.
