No pictures or description or.... anything? Do we have to guess???

 

Got a pic ?

 

No.. but when looking at the coin its possible MS-60

 

No, pictures because I didnt buy it. Thats what Im asking of you guys should I have bought it? But never mind now I'll go grab it tomorrow hopefully it hasnt been gold yet.

 

How about 1917 wheat? I have pictures... Got it from the some person. Would you guys like to see..?

 

If you want our opinion on a coin, pictures is a must, if you don't have pictures but a coin you wanna discuss.... don't bother then

 

ditto

 

Got this 1917 Wheat. Tomorrow I will go get that 1922 Wheat.

 

The 17 would have graded Good but it has been cleaned.

 

no one else said it so I will:

A 1922 Wheatie!

That was the one to grab.


unless it was a 1922 D.

 

Even the 1922-D in MS60 would be nearly $100 - unless it were counterfeit.

 

What grade do you give this 1917?

 

If the 22 (I assume D) is in the same condition as the 17 I'd pass.

 

$17 for a 1922 is fair enough in grades F+. By the way, I like your ancient philosophical saying, it perfectly applies to me! Ha, ha!

 

By all means.

Buy them.

Coins will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through the times of no coins.

 

Most people wouldn't have bought the 1917, as it is a cleaned, low-grade coin worth maybe 10c. If you thought this coin was much more than that when you bought it, I'd advise against buying the 1922 (or 22-D) cent. My Spidey Sense tells me you'll be out $17 and holding a real dud.

There's an adage that says, "buy the best coin you can afford," to which I'd add, "and understand." Taking that advice, the response to a "should I buy this coin" question is usually "no," since if you have to ask, you probably don't understand it.

 

More philosophical wisdom! Ha, ha!

 

Did Freewheeling Franklin say something like this? : - )

 

Does the 1922 have a mintmark?
