BlackNWhite Valued Member United States 109 Posts	Posted 10/31/2021 12:53 pm I know 1915 and 1916 wheats have nice strikes and liked the beard detail on this one, but the reverse color's odd. Coin in general is kind of odd. Think it might be cleaned. What do you guys think? Report this Post to the Staff

Sir Derrin Valued Member United States 177 Posts	Posted 10/31/2021 1:06 pm I would say its an older metal detector find - dug many Wheaties with that general color out of sandy loam dirt... Edited by Sir Derrin 10/31/2021 1:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff

fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3647 Posts	Posted 10/31/2021 3:38 pm Much clearer photos of the key marker areas would be needed, but I'm not so sure this isn't an impaired 1916 proof, or a business strike from the proof dies. Report this Post to the Staff
BlackNWhite Valued Member United States 109 Posts	Posted 10/31/2021 9:19 pm ...That'd be something. I'll see if I'm capable of getting good enough macro pics when I can. Still interested on if others think it's a cleaned/details coin or not. Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19951 Posts	Posted 10/31/2021 11:30 pm Cool coin! The reverse was probably exposed to something long ago. TPG would details it but it's not even high enough of a grade to bother. I like it though! AU-53 Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18665 Posts	Posted 11/01/2021 08:37 am not sure it was a dug coin as I would expect to see at least some type of hairlines on the surfaces from a cleaning. I do think it may have been improperly stored. probably would grade straight. technically looks AU50 or 53. not a huge fan of the eye appeal though Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36746 Posts	Posted 11/04/2021 2:00 pm AU-55 but not sure it would get "details". Seems pretty dark so might have some surface ED. Report this Post to the Staff
BuffaloIronTail Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 12/17/2021 6:27 pm The Lincoln Cent was redone in 1916. Looks 55 to me. Yea, kinda dark. They may say details. Pete Report this Post to the Staff
