Any opinions on the grade of this 1931 wheatie? I found it in a bank roll tonight. I LOVE roll hunting!!  Note: There are a couple of pin-pricks in the obverse field at about 2 o'clock.    |

After seeing this Lincoln, I need to start searching rolls. I wish this 1931 Lincoln could talk. I would like to ask him where have you been and how did you get into that roll. Beautiful coin.

XF45-AU50, although it could be a weak strike, its hard to tell from the glare. Without looking into my notes, I am pretty sure 31's were known to have a weak strike. If that is the case and that is not wear on the cheek then AU55-MS60.

Does not look like a weak strike to me, does have several dings and scratches on both side. I'm going to say AU-55. Great coin from a roll find.

One heck of a roll find!  AU50-55 RB. It's a very nice coin, lots of red mint luster and original surfaces. $8-10 coin. Congrats!  |

That looks like someone dumped their collection at the bank and you picked it right up, nice find!! I'm going with AU55, nice coin.

Looks AU55 to me, reverse shows little to no wear. Obverse could be weak strike since the crease in jacket is hard to discern. nlp

AU details , net EF-45 the dings in the field on the obverse , and the spotting on both obverse and reverse and the hits on the wheathead and lettering on the reverse are a distraction to me .  Just kidding !  The coin is easily an AU-55 and a great roll find ! I also agree that the pictures are good ! |
