Grade a '24-S Wheatie I just found in a bag (It's real nice)

The field areas seem to be mostly problem free with a few nicks on the bust. The verdigris is minor and could be minimized by soaking as mentioned. When using any manual cleaning less force the better. Patience and a strong, lighted, hands free magnifier are important. Do not get in a hurry. I have heard that using a green rose thorn works very well. A green one comes from the new growth and is not neccessarilly the color. It is still flexible.

dont listen to anyone that says clean it or soak it.. just leave it alone..

 

Nice bag find. I'm jealous.:thumb:

 

I also pulled a '22-D in VF20, and a '24-D in F12 out of that bag. Good bag.

 

I was gonna say the same thing.

But if you are gonna clean it, forget the olive oil and tooth brush, get yourself a industrial power polisher along with some nice turtle wax, it'll bring the shine right out... :devil:

 

Even in AU, that 24-S would be the most valuable by far, and if it went MS ....... However, looking closely, I suspect that the coin, if graded, would get details - PVC damage. I would at a minimum rinse it with acetone to make sure all had been removed. Even if I am wrong, it should not hurt the coin if done correctly.
