Just opened about 3 rolls of wheat pennies at my store straight from the bank. Just quickly thumbing threw them I noticed a 1953 and 1944 that are clearly circulated but very bright. Is there a good way to tell if these have been cleaned? Also I have what appears to be a clipped 41 that's pretty noticeable.

If you can't post a photo, search the site for that topic and you'll see lots of threads with photos. Maybe that will help.

Looking through them a little more. Most are pretty dark and unimpressive looking. At least one steel but its pretty rough.
yes they were customer wrapped rolls to be sure.
another find I stumbled upon was a roll of quarters that looks to be a rather old customer roll of bicentennial quarters. At least they are on each end and are in very good shape. Debating whether to open.

Neat to find an "honest" 1943 still circulating!

Any ideas on the really bright ones? Are they just the lucky few?

The small image of the 1953 obverse appears to be original in color/luster and at least borderline uncirculated. The larger image of the bronze reverse definitely looks circulated, and possibly looks cleaned.
