I was going through my horde of pennies, looking for pennies that are from the years of Double Die Error years hoping to find that lucky penny. I came across a 1952 D Lincoln Wheat. So could you tell me if this may be something of interest. The mint mark is VERY high, just about touching the numbers 9 and 5, using a 17x magnifying loop. Also, would it be wise to clean it if I where to send it in for grading and if so how would I do this without getting it back saying, " Improperly Cleaned". As I have received coins back from grading company with that description even though I have never cleaned a coin. Since I read a lot about not cleaning your coins. Thank you for your time.

P.S. not sure but it seems to be closer than dates and marks I've seen, you think.

Hi Al, Welcome to the forum if I have missed you! The mint mark is very high, but there are many likewise. Once on ebay there was a person wanting hundreds of thousands for it, but had many send him a photo showing theirs. It is a neat oddity. I have a couple around here someplace, with one actually touching the tail of the 9, but maybe only worth a couple of dollars. Here is a link to another forum.

AL
