Hi, I'm new to the forum! I'm trying to find lowball wheat cents to send for grading. These are the candidates I plucked from my stash, but I'm unsure about the grading criteria for wheaties. Do any of these have a shot at straight grading PO1? (Assuming any of the dates are readable, I know it's hard to tell in images like this. I think I can make out a few of them.) Cent 1   Cent 2   Cent 3   Cent 4   Cent 5   Cent 6   Edited by JstnPwll

 to the CCF Nice photos. The only coin I can see with a legible date is the final one, but it is too corroded to straight grade. I don't believe the remainder can be positively identified so they will not grade at all. In the future, please post only one coin per thread, that way we can keep the discussion straight. |

Agree with nickelsearcher, the only one that the date
is easily recognized is the bottom one but it has damage
so it probably wouldn't straight grade.
Nice photos by the way.

The reverse on the first one makes it PO-1. The others I think are FR-2.

Sorry for the mixup with multiple coins in one post. I'll refrain from doing that again. Here are better angles of the dates on a couple of them: Cent 1Still hard to capture in an image, but I'm 75% sure it is 1936 when I angle it and move around in the light.  Cent 4Clearly 1946  They all look a lot more slick in real life, these photos make them look like the surface of the moon  Edited by JstnPwll

Oops, I had the obverses swapped on 1 and 2. I have edited the post to correct it.

To CCF! The last coin is the only identifiable one. It won't straight grade, due to corrosion. Errers and Varietys.
