    Just curious; how can you tell it was "cleaned" and how and with what?

    Staining, spotting and coloring. Who knows with what.

    The 58 is nice, but back in 58 we knew that the cent was changing in 59. Most collectors, myself included, put back mint rolls. Then in 59 there was a rumor that the Lincoln Memorial would be for one year only. So, we put back mint rolls of them. Therefore I have too many of each. I would call yours AU-58 IMO.

    The 1958-D looks AU-58, nice but not worth more than $.10. Too many were saved as it was the last year for the Wheat Ear.
    As for the other coin, I’d be at F-15.

    I would say the 1958 cent is an MS-64, Red. Don't get too excited because these coins were saved by the roll and are very common in Mint State. The big bucks come when PCGS calls it MS-67+, Red and it's "the finest example graded." Then a foolish person, who is addicted to the PCGS Registry, will pay a ridiculous price for it like close to $3,000. But only angels get grades like that from PCGS.

    The 1911 is an EF-40. Collectors used to be fussier about that grade, which would have made that coin a Ch VF years ago. It's still not worth the grading fee. PCGS Coin Facts says it's worth $7.
