I'm going to have to go through all of my wheaties when I get home and see if I have any, I've never heard of this before!
this one is different, not sure what is going on with the errrrrr toning? Luster is excellent and unbroken.
Nice, I have 2 pennies that are just like that, (1970 and 1971 D) but aren't as good.........just can't find them
Hope to be back home in about a week ? I have found a few while roll searching this year and hope to get some pics. gary
Had our local coin show today. As big as this place is, it is the one and only each year. Not exactly a major show, but I still managed to pick up a few. The 32-D has very light grain, but still a nice coin. The 34-D has much more color than grain and more color than my picture shows. That is a real nice coin
Hey RLM's Nice pick ups. With the grain being relatively light on those coins , is there a way to make/allow them to tone further so that you achieve a more dramatic effect ?
My guess is that they will "tone" further with age/poor storage. However, at this stage, I am not going to play with the only ones I have for these dates.
Nice pickups Dick! The 32D has a small spot of verdigris. If you use a toothpick to apply one tiny drop of VC to that, let it stand for about 5 minutes and dab off....it would be improved. :smile
Awesome stuff in this thread. Any of y'all have a 1911 that looks like these 2 and in this grade. If you do and you would like to pass it on shoot me a pm...
