JayDon62 Valued Member United States 138 Posts	Posted 04/04/2009 12:24 pm OK, OK this was found in circulation approx 1976-1978. I dragged out my old Whitman penny folders that got me started collecting in 1976. The only dates I am missing are the obvious 1909-S, 1909-S-VDB, 1914-D, 1922 Plain and 1955 DD. I was suprised that I had a 1931-S in the folder. My Mom owned a deli in Philly during the 1970's-1980's, so I used to search ALL the coins before they reached the register. I have a bag of approx 8,000 wheats and a nearly complete Lincoln Cent collection. Here is a photo of my 1931-S. What would you guys grade it? I would say a VF-30 that is listed at about $160. Any thoughts are appreciated. Edited by JayDon62 04/04/2009 3:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I agree with echizento that it's EF but your value is a little high. $130 retail is more in line with it's condition. Nice find! ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

okie-colin Pillar of the Community United States 1083 Posts	Posted 04/05/2009 6:25 pm If it were mine I might give it an acetone rinse. With some of the circulation grime and hand grease removed it would appear a little brighter. Fantastic circulation find! Report this Post to the Staff

If your happy with a coin the way it is, leave well enough alone. True that Acetone should, may, might not effect the coin, but why take that chance with a valuable coin.
