Hordfest Valued Member United States 208 Posts	Posted 04/14/2023 8:18 pm I need some opinions on this coin. What would you grade it? Are the dirty areas in the low areas indicators that it was cleaned? Does the clear post mint damage to the O on the reverse make it "damaged"? Sorry for the obvious questions, still pretty new to all this. Edited by Hordfest 04/14/2023 8:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Hordfest Valued Member United States 208 Posts	Posted 04/14/2023 8:19 pm Ah shoot I forgot to put Wheat cent or Lincoln Cent in the title of the thread. Edit: Figured out how to change the title! Edited by Hordfest 04/14/2023 8:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2954 Posts	Posted 04/14/2023 8:23 pm Id gander an AU-50 to start. As to that PMD you mentioned, to me it is not to damaged to call it details to my eyes, but others might defer otherwise. You can also edit your own title; I do it all the time here. Side note, you could check for the two known DDOs on these, greatly enhancing the appeal to collectors. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19154 Posts	Posted 04/14/2023 10:00 pm May have been cleaned long ago--unsure. That said, I could see AU55+ on this. The wheat stalks seem to show some wear--may be an issue with the photography. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15425 Posts	Posted 04/15/2023 05:41 am Surfaces are way too dark in the photos to offer a good estimate on grade. IMO the damage to the O does not detail the coin but interesting that the bright copper showing at both of the hits indicate the damage occurred recently and not when the coin was relatively young. A recent prior owner of this coin did not take care to store/handle it properly. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
mcshilling Pillar of the Community Canada 9160 Posts	Posted 04/15/2023 08:48 am I'm seeing ware on the obv. so AU58 Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18663 Posts	Posted 04/15/2023 09:36 am i believe the coin has been lightly circulated. I'm wondering if the lighting is hiding and surface luster. the O nick probably will not detail the coin. technically i'd call it AU55 since the obverse strike is pretty strong I dont think the jacket is from strike but wear Report this Post to the Staff
nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 04/15/2023 1:04 pm the low res photos probably mean there are also hits we're not seeing, so I'll say AU 50 Report this Post to the Staff
