I finally got back to photographing my Wheat cents, so I will have a few for your help grading. First up is this 1929.

I have a lot to learn about grading in general and LWCs in particular. The beard and hair detail look flat to me. Weak strike or am it putting too much emphasis on these details and not enough on the rims? I've read and re-read ANA grading standards etc. Any advice will be appreciated.

MS62BN also. I don't see any signs of oncirculation. Little bit of a weak strike on both sides. Some nice luster all around. Nice wheatie!

AU-53 woody, somewhat weakly struck (look at the left wheat leaves and the "IT" in UNITED.) Has very minor rim damage or strike/planchet issue at 5:00 and 6:00 obverse view. Regardless, it's a really nice LWC and "Wood" look great in a collection. :) Just my one cent opinion.

noD: Beard and hair detail are highly dependent on the strike/dies.
This coin looks cleaned with AU detail.
