    Do you know the grade and is that a D mintmark?

    Also, please get some better images. :/ Too much glare.

    I love finding RD or RB wheats. :D

    Get better pics for sure.

    Shoot from straight above, doing this doesn't put any aspects of the coin into question. Your light source is also a problem, try to get the most natural looking light you can (sunlight maybe? :)).

    And again, is that a D mintmark?

    I guess it doesnt look as new as I though I am new to this, is it still a good find though? wheat 4.jpeg wheat3.jpeg

    Those are really solid pics.

    Looks like a low-MS coin, great find. Worth a buck or two, I'd guess.

    I'd say a 2x2 flip. Worth about 2-5 bucks. Good find!

    My 2011 Red Book lists it as $.50 in MS-63 and $2 in MS65.
