Now, I don't think there is anything wrong with this coin at all, I was just so happy and shocked at how well this Wheat penny looked, especially how I received it from change at a gas station. This penny is BY FAR the best circulated coin I have probably ever found as of right now. I've only been collecting coins for almost 2 years now and the only coins that I collect are the coins I find in circulation, and even a 1870's 3 cent nickel coin is right up there with this penny. Definitely keeping me motivated to find a special coin in the future, that's for sure!    |

Maybe from a collection dump. Will you save it in a 2x2?

That's a beauty for sure . When you find nice collector coins I would go back to the place where you got it and tell them your a coin collector and want to know if they have more penny's that look like this , ( show them the wheat side up ) . What do you have to loose  |

Very cool. Agree with MS64--given the photos posted.

Since it is from circulation, technically that can't be MS-by definition. At least this is what I am lead to believe.
I have trouble reconciling the theory with the fact that this coin from circulation looks MS.

MS is a technical grade, where it is found does not factor in. John1 |

What's really odd is that in my stack of wheat pennies, my couple 1957s are by far the most clean/lustrous out of them. Something about that year I guess?
