Nice find, not too shabby!

 

Thanks!

 

Nice shape. That one had a decent hiding spot for a while.

 

Yes in my dad’s batch. I’m pokey going through them… lol.

 

Not a bad looking wheat cent.

 

Thank you sir!

 

That one is pretty sharp Pam.

 

Thank you! In dad’s bunch.

 

Wish my sister looked that good. She was born that year. LOL

 

Lol!

 

@PamR …so, tell me and the rest of us…what grade would you assign to it?

(Please let Pam answer first)…Spark

 

I would say 66

 

Enjoy your sister while you have them. I lost my older sister 4 years ago to cancer. I lost my younger sister about a year ago from knee replacement surgery. I live in North Carolina and they lived in Southern California. At 75, I can't travel much due to back injury.

 

Do not send it in Pam you are too nice to be disappointed. Thanks for sharing from your dad's heart through yours.

 

Oh no I’m not. Thank you for that. And you know, you all know your coins and if I were to ever part with any or sell, y’all would be the first to know. Thanks again!

 

The ones that are circulated are graded 50, 53,55, and 58. Unless you were just calling it perfect

 

Well of course!! Lol! No it’s not perfect… and I did look at some but some were not as good looking as mine. That cent has been hidden in many for over 20 yrs.

 

Good one!

 

No.

Your Red Book has grading guidelines that will help you get in the right ballpark.

Wear on a coin stops and starts at MS60. Your 1942 wheat ear shows definite circulation wear on the cheek, jaw, hair and lapel, so it can’t be Mint State.

…care to try again?…Spark
