As I posted in another thread, I have three wheat back pennies that I pulled from circulation over a period of years. Each one was a surprise because they appeared to be brand new coins until I turned them over. That was years ago and they have started to tarnish a bit, but I think they're still in decent shape. I was wondering if anybody could help me grade them:

Thanks!

I would guess MS-63 RB on the 1935, MS-63 RD on the 1937, and MS-63+ RB on the 1941.

Really? Wow, that's better then I expected! Can I legitimately call these "Brilliant Uncirculated"?

35 - MS-62RB
Others - MS-63RD

I personally wouldn't call the 35BU, it's a red-brown coin. The other two I'd be OK with calling them BU.

they are beautiful coins. I don't know if this is normal (i also don't think it is.) if you look at the jacket of each you will see 2 marks. whats weird is they all look the same.

I think those marks are part of the design. Check out this image I just snagged from Wikipedia:

Unless you're talking about different marks than I thought you were talking about...
