I found this 1917-D wheatie in a local pawn shop today for $1.50. There is evidence of corrosion near the center of the reverse and it's surely been cleaned at some point but for a buck and a half I took the gamble.  I am quite impressed with the quality of the strike on both surfaces and believe it makes VF20. Grades and comments welcome.  |

There is evidence of corrosion near the center of the reverse: could that be a minor LAM? It does look like it has been clean but the strike looks above average. John1  |

I'm feeling a VF-25 solid on this one. VERY nice Denver mint coin. They get to be difficult once you find them in VF+ conditions. Old cleaning I agree.

VF, I think it has a wood grain pattern, mainly seen on the reverse. Also appears to be cleaned years ago.

This coin was a XF and then someone cleaned it up. Now it's more like a VF30. But for $1.50 why not

Gold, cleaning doesn't really affect the grade it just gives it details.
