Hi All, new here. I got a 1952 D Wheat penny today. I googled it and just the proofs are going for like $650. This coin is in definitely circulated condition, but could probably be cleaned up nice with a little Tarnex or something. Is it worth anything? |

First,  Big different between a proof and business strike. If your dealing with with an average circulated 52D, not a lot of any value unless your dealing with a variety or error. Never clean a coin...... unless you want it to be worth face value. There are a few solvents such as acetone and xylene that are generally safe to use that won't alter the coin. Posting pictures also helps get more responses and solutions to any questions. |

to CCF. As noted, NEVER clean a coin...just don't. Post photos here on CCF and we will help you. A common regular strike Wheat cent is worth 2¢-5¢ John1 
( I'm no pro, it's just my humble opinion )

 This image was taken using a mag light app on the phone.I don't think there is anything terribly special about it, but if I need to look for something in particular, I can. Not sure how many of these I have seen in my entire life time.

With the single photo I'm seeing what appears to be a common, circulated '52 D. Would be interested in seeing natural color, high resolution photos, but it's probably pointless at this stage. Value? Maybe 2-4 cents.
