When I was home for the holidays I picked up two new penny additions. First, 1943 Steel penny my dad found in his pocket change! Second, an 1874 IHC that my wife's Grandpa had collected. My question, the IHC cent has green build-up on it and the steel cent has an orange spot on Lincoln's nose. Should I attempt to remove these through an acetone bath? I also saw that I could try Verdi care on them. Or just leave them alone. Thoughts? Thanks!

The steel cent is rusted and acetone will likely not improve it. The 1874 is suffering from verdigris corrosion that has eaten into the coin. I recommended a few soaks in Verdi-Care and then using a q-tip to tap at the verdigris.

Only 16 wheats in 76 rolls this month. Have only found 1 in the last 2 weeks. Not very good luck so far this year.

I found 10 Wheat Cents, 18 Canadian Cents, and one counterstamped cent this week, along with 7 Doubled Dies that I found in the box. The oldest Wheat cent in my pile is a 1919 P.

Yanks21, it was a weird counterstamp. I don't know what it was exactly. It had like a shield or something.
