Sander Pillar of the Community Netherlands 561 Posts	Posted 08/05/2012 2:45 pm I Found this possible beauty on my daily bargain search.. I "pocketed it", and have to wait for a week or 3 when other auctions of this seller ends which I place a bid on... I think the greenish can be removed.. and possible have a nice grade... MS62? I'm not good at grading, so some advice needed.. Thanks in advance.. (sellers image) Edited by Sander 08/05/2012 3:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19957 Posts	Posted 08/05/2012 4:28 pm Really hard to grade with those small pictures, not to mention, they are scans. Scanners are HORRIBLE for coins. All I can say is it's either MS or a lower grade that's been cleaned. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
Sander Pillar of the Community Netherlands 561 Posts	Posted 08/05/2012 4:54 pm I know that scans are not a good reference.. But it was his only wheat listed and the rest look like this.. None of his coins looked cleaned.. Report this Post to the Staff
cwb1877 Pillar of the Community United States 1659 Posts	Posted 08/05/2012 5:35 pm It's hard to tell from the pics, but it looks like there is a good chance it's MS. You'll have to post some better pics once you get it in hand Quote: I think the greenish can be removed. If you are talking about the staining on Lincoln's head, I would leave it alone. It looks like a stain to me, which can't be removed without damaging the coin. We'll be able to advise you further once you post some better pics. Report this Post to the Staff

Captain Morgan Pillar of the Community United States 620 Posts	Posted 08/05/2012 10:25 pm From what I can see from your photos my guess is AU-58. That said I dont collect wheat back cents and have little grading experiance with the coins. Report this Post to the Staff
eddiespin Pillar of the Community United States 1547 Posts	Posted 08/08/2012 2:36 pm I zoomed up that 1918 and there's some hair on that chin. If that's MS, give it a MS64. Report this Post to the Staff
