This is one of my best Wheat pennies and I'm wondering what Grade it is.

Looks to be around EF/AU. The verdigris needs to be addressed, appears to be in the early stages still. It probably formed within the last few years by the looks of it. You might want to think about your storage conditions.

I'll say AU. I would take care of those spots though.

XF/AU range grade - but those corrosion spots need to be addressed before this becomes a Details coin.

Agree EF/AU sharpness, but might be a details coin.

the verdigris may already have eaten into some of the surfaces.

XF/AU details ( PMD)
