chriscpk214 Valued Member United States 85 Posts	Posted 03/15/2006 6:19 pm Hello everybody. Here are two wheat cents I received today. I bought them graded by (what I later found out to be) a basement operated coin service pretty much. So, What do you feel the grade is on them? Thanks, Chris --------- ---- 1-1955-D Wheat penny 2-1958 Wheat penny --- Sorry about the bad pictures, maybe you can tell...NOTE BOTH COINS HAVE NICE LUSTER...Even though the 1958 doesn't look so. I might can take more if I must. Thank You!!! Report this Post to the Staff

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 03/16/2006 03:14 am Hi Chris I would really not like to do an injustice to the cents, the pics are just a bit to blury to get a good look at the details I need to see on these cents to voice an opinion,, Please post better pics ,, Lincoln cents are one of my favorite coins!! Thanks Rick Report this Post to the Staff
chriscpk214 Valued Member United States 85 Posts	Posted 03/16/2006 07:28 am Thanks, Rick. I will try to get some better pics up tonight. Have a good day. EDIT-------------------- I deleted the pics, and will try to post more in a few mins! Edited by chriscpk214 03/16/2006 4:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff
chriscpk214 Valued Member United States 85 Posts	Posted 03/16/2006 5:20 pm Here are some different pics, not much better, but I think they are a little less blurry. See what you think. Keep in mind luster on these coins is very good. Also the rims are hard to see, but the holder is bad, and therefore makes it look like the rims have dings. Thanks, Chris. NOTE I used sunlight, I saw the idea in another post. It worked better than a lamp, I believe. EDIT------- On the lastpic especially,maybe last two, the wheat is not faded bad, it is just dark. (because the light didn't hit the spot) Chris Edited by chriscpk214 03/16/2006 5:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff

RealtorInWi Valued Member United States 94 Posts	Posted 03/17/2006 2:03 pm I've got a guess--- good ole' Gallery Grading Company. Jojax seems to sell a lot of those wheats as MS-67's... Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 03/17/2006 3:56 pm heck I will guess grading companies also. what I saw of the case looks like one of the Capitol Coin Grading Companies slabs. I may be wrong but would like to know which basement grading company graded them and what they graded the coins Report this Post to the Staff
chriscpk214 Valued Member United States 85 Posts	Posted 03/17/2006 9:22 pm Well, realtor, your exactly right. They are by the Galery Grading Company, and they are both rated at MS-67 RD. And yes they're from jojax. Thanks, Chris Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 03/17/2006 9:31 pm is jojax a seller on ebay or something? Report this Post to the Staff
chriscpk214 Valued Member United States 85 Posts	Posted 03/17/2006 10:44 pm Yes. That sells coins that are all graded by the infamous Gallery Grading Company. EDIT--------------------------- Also, Thank you to Rick and Susan for resizing the pics!! Edited by chriscpk214 03/17/2006 11:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff
RealtorInWi Valued Member United States 94 Posts	Posted 03/19/2006 09:34 am Here's a link to Jojax, and exactly what he's selling (hint--stay far, far away!): http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZjojax22QQhtZ-1 I bought (and returned) one of his MS-66 FBL Franklins--it was definitely a few points overgraded & was not FBL.
