ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19120 Posts	Posted 11/16/2020 12:02 pm A few years ago I came across an old Whitman cent folder nearly full of wheat cents. Each cent had the very same 'cleaned' area over the date and mint mark--every one. Otherwise, the coins were heavily circulated and rather dirty. Someone attempted to clean the coins so the date and mintmark could be better seen. Edited by ijn1944 11/16/2020 12:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
