RoyCoinBoy Pillar of the Community United States 1609 Posts	Posted 03/11/2017 2:58 pm And what is your question / concern? If you found it CRH (coin roll hunting) good job! I've yet to find a BU wheat. Edited by RoyCoinBoy 03/11/2017 2:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff
keepcalmandcoinon Pillar of the Community United States 865 Posts	Posted 03/11/2017 3:17 pm Judging by the small amount of wear and coloring around the edges of the devices, it looks like it's been cleaned and polished. But that's just from what I can see from the photo. Still a cool find though if you found it out in the wild. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 03/11/2017 3:39 pm Better pics would help, but I agree with KCCO that this coin looks polished. If so, then someone has removed most of the coin's numismatic value.

coin197 Pillar of the Community United States 1963 Posts	Posted 03/11/2017 5:20 pm Unfortunately, that is only a heavily polished coin that is worth very little. Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 03/11/2017 9:07 pm to the forum! Shiny is not always a good thing where coins are concerned. It was worth more before it was cleaned. It's still worth double face value through! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/12/2017 7:00 pm PSD polishing. Ruined the value to a collector for this coin. While it may look neat to some, to a collector it is just a damaged Wheat cent. Report this Post to the Staff
