MontCollector Pillar of the Community United States 2403 Posts	Posted 12/16/2017 6:23 pm I know these are common dates, but I don't have a lot of Wheaties that look red with full luster. I think with these 2 I have 5 total. Both of these look very red in hand with full luster. My camera lighting has a hard time picking it up. I can't wait until my Jansjo lights come in. Hopefully that will solve this problem. First one is a 1956P This has LOTS(the worst I've seen on an LWC)of die scratches on obverse and reverse. Second on is a 1958P Any and all opinions welcome...as usual. Thanks...Mont Report this Post to the Staff

aristarchus123 Pillar of the Community United States 1695 Posts	Posted 12/16/2017 8:15 pm The 1956 has great lustre, but there appear to be horizontal lines on the obverse and verticals lines on the reverse. Are these scratches? Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 12/16/2017 8:30 pm Both low MS, both have some spotting, yea, heavy reflective die scratches on that 56 but also carbon spotting on bust kill the appeal. 58 has a lot of chatter on the highs, spotting and a LDS mushiness obverse that doesn't help it much. Other than the pickies... coins are OK. I have noticed it hard to get nice 58P's in OBW, all mine have been below 63/64's, lot of discoloration, the Denver's have been way better. Maybe in the final rinsing....? Report this Post to the Staff

Are these scratches? Yes, they're scratches, but they sure look to be scratches on the die. That's a whimsical sort of polishing, which actually increases the desirability of the coin to a weirdo like me. Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: The 1956 has great lustre, but there appear to be horizontal lines on the obverse and verticals lines on the reverse. Are these scratches? They are die scratches. Tiny raised lines that are reflecting the light badly. Edit: When I see these lines I start looking for clash marks. Didn't find any on this one.
