    1955-s Wheat - real toning/grade?

    Got this cent in a Lot of a bunch of coins.

    What do you think about this?
    I like it, I was just wondering about the toning, and potential grade.
    Sorry about any glare.

    It comes from being stored in a coin album. The toning is caused by the edge of the coin being in contact with the carboard of the album. So the toning starts at the outer edge and works its way inwards.
    knowledge ..... share it
