SharkRN New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 05/09/2023 5:17 pm Pulled this out of my pocket and noticed it's color looked a little different than the other pennies I was holding, looking a little closer I saw that it's an older 1937 Wheat penny. I compared it to other ones on PCGS https://www.PCGS.com/coinfacts/coin...c-rd/2659/66 and I'm thinking it may at least be a 66. The wheat on my coin looks a little more defined than the grade 66 coins on the website. Whatcha folks think? Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/09/2023 5:23 pm Not a 66 for sure. You've got some carbon spots and nicks on the shoulder. Please show us a straight-on shot of the obverse, not slightly tilted as here. to the CCF! Edited by Coinfrog 05/09/2023 5:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19213 Posts	Posted 05/09/2023 6:05 pm Well that's a nice discovery. Given the posted pics, I'd say it falls in the MS61-63 range. A better image of the obverse might narrow things down. Report this Post to the Staff

SharkRN New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 05/09/2023 11:33 pm @Coinfrog Yeah I would of thought the carbon spot would hold it back but I saw this https://www.PCGS.com/auctionprices/...765651967152 same coin listed as a 66 with a darker spot on it that I'm assuming is also a carbon spot. Idk if it's the lighting but the wheat also looks more worn on some of the coins at the rating than on mine. I'm new to this and will look into getting a better setup for taking pictures. I appreciate the replies : D I was taking the earlier pictures during the day and this followup picture of the obverse was taking right now at night. Any recommendations for a magnifying tool that has a light built in? Edited by SharkRN 05/10/2023 12:13 am Report this Post to the Staff
