Just freed this 1914-S from it's slab. Into the album it goes. Just two holes to go. The Big One 1909-S-VDB and a 1914-D. I'm pretty excited to have come this far. Now the saving $ game begins.   |

Hate to even suggest this, but the obverse looks like it may have been cleaned at one point.  |

It does look different. You think it was cleaned a long time ago?

It's most unusual for an older wheat to show such markedly different colors on each side. So, yes, I think the obverse was probably cleaned some time back. Just my opinion.  |

Excellent!  What slab did you crack? No details grade? I hate to think a TPG missed old cleaning. With that being said, I am not seeing it having been cleaned in these photos on my screen.  |

Here's the original listing. You can't tell any difference in color between the obverse and reverse in the photos. I didn't notice anything until I was posting pictures here. 382797517037No. No details grade. Edited by chafemasterj

I was just going by the noticeably lighter color on your first obverse photo, which doesn't seem to present the coin as accurately as the reverse. Glad I was wrong, this is a nice example for sure.

The coin doesn't look cleaned to me. Inconsistencies in the color profile look more like a coarse woodie type effect, where the stock alloy was somewhat heterogeneous resulting in the color variation. This is supported by the fact this diagonal patterning is going in opposite directions on the obverse and reverse.

14-S is a tough date as you get into the higher grades. Nice acquisition, you'll get there soon enough!

Nice coin ,however I don't think the obverse warrants a 45 grade . Reverse has it clinched , Net 35 . I'm not a fan of TPG .  |

Don't pay attention to those that have only negative opinions. You have a great looking coin there and it's now yours. What brand Album are you using? Is there places for the 22 plain? Is there slots for the 55 and 72 doubled dies? Does it go all the way up to present? What grade 09S VDB are you looking for?
One of the things I like about a Whitman Classic Album. Enough room in the Folder for enough pages for all Pennies from 09 to present.

Very nice! Nice pick up for the price. Finally, we're on the same page as I have cracked out several Seated Liberty dimes. Instead of a Dansco I put them in Air-tite holders and into two by two album pages. They just look better that way.
