Coin Idiot Valued Member United States 58 Posts	Posted 12/04/2022 3:29 pm They all look great on the obverse but terrible on the reverse. Looks like they were in an old fashion coin book at one time and it got wet or damp. The other ones are: 1953 D 1955 D 1958 D 1959 No MM Can not find any doubling or anything else on any of them. I know we are suppose to limit each thread to one coin, should I start a new topic for each one? I guess what I am asking is, Are these worth anything? If so how would they be graded?

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19150 Posts	Posted 12/04/2022 3:35 pm Yes, some nice wheat cents residing for many years in old coin books (like Whitman folders) can develop compromised reverses under certain conditions. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34406 Posts	Posted 12/04/2022 4:28 pm For circulated, common-date wheat cents, they are usually worth a few cents rather than face value.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 12/04/2022 5:34 pm Agree a couple of these seem to have been cleaned. As to value, they may be worth 2 cents apiece in copper bullion, but you're not going to get that price from a dealer or anyone else. To me, these are all spenders unless they have "sentimental" value. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19948 Posts	Posted 12/04/2022 10:55 pm Reverse verdigris, formed by moisture trapped between the reverse and some sort of medium. This are pretty common coins and worth only a few cents each. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
