    Hey everyone,

    What do you guys think of this nice rainbow toned wheat? Again, I saw it on eBay at a fairly low price ($25), and I just want your thoughts on what the grade is and how much I could resell it for. Thanks for any help!

    Not so excited. I still find a few wheats of that nature still in circulation.

    $25 seems a bit steep. Nice looking cent but steep.

    Its a 1929, looks beautiful to me, I love toned coins especially cents. I bought a bag of coins at an estate auction (sight unseen) and it included a roll of 41945 cents that were all toned. They were an original bank roll. They were silver, green blue toned. A great bu roll.

    Very nice looking coin and priced as such.

    100% disagree, nicely toned Lincoln always command a premium that I and MANY other collectors will pay.

    Also isn't this coin BU... And wouldn't that bring a bit (much) more than $2-6? I can't find any BU wheats even from the late thirties for less than $5-10. Thanks still for responding and helping me.

    $25 seems high. Half that is retail for MS-63 1929 cent.
    BU would be MS-65 but I think 63 is closer to this coin.

    I don't know why you're sorry. That was an honest answer, and you shouldn't be sorry.

    BU =Brilliant Uncirculated, Brilliant to me mean that a coin still has its original color.
    Or original luster. On a Cent that would be red.

    I like the color but the surfaces are just not clean enough for me. In my estimation, the $25 is a full retail price for toning premium. In other words, if I was selling this coin on E-Bay, I would list it for $25 and accept and offer of $15+.

    I don't think it is BU, it is definitely UNC though. However, if it is something that you really like and think would look good in your collection, I would say to go ahead and make an offer or buy it. I think $25 is too high for that coin (that eBay seller prices their coins really high anyways) but if you have the money to buy it and don't care if you make a profit, I'd encourage you to get it.

    If you are looking for a 1929 BU cent, here is one for only $6 on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1929-LINCOLN-WHEAT-CENT-BU/362384016988?hash=item545fc5465c:g:NfsAAOSwL8lbR2iO&LH_BIN=1.

    You could always get a cheaper one too and artificially tone it. :D

    I don't know about that link there. The reverse looks VF or XF...

    In the numismatic world, BU=MS60-MS63. It has nothing to do with the color of the coin. You are going to confuse people when you say the coin is not BU but still uncirculated.
