It's been a good week for older coins: found this 1951-D Wheat cent in change and then got a 1939 Jefferson nickel back from the coke machine. Up for grading a pocket change find? I don't know what's up with the reverse.   Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.

I'll take a shot in the dark: VF-30 with struck-through grease reverse.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020
In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024

I'd think it's more like in the Fine range: lots of wear. Reverse could be a "struck through" or just bad strike.

Heavily circulated coin with lots of ding dongs . I'll say a Greaser reverse .  |

FN-15. Agree with possible Greaser. But I don't think it makes much difference, other than the fun of trying to identify. |

I could see VF30. Facial features are still pretty bold. Lightly struck area is a common place to over polish the die.

VF-25, possibly 30, details.

VF-35, the reverse weakness is in a common area due to not enough metal filling the die.

I was thinking around VF20 so it's interesting to see the results. It's going in my "1951 PDS circulated" Wheat tube, but it's still nice to find these in change now and again.
