<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeepfreak81, post: 24831267, member: 93888&quot;]Hey all - so I aquired 5 rolls of wheat pennies &quot;unsearched&quot; from someone.&nbsp; I say unsearched only because they weren&#039;t really a collector just amassed some rolls of wheat cents.&nbsp; That being said, nothing too exciting in there but filled in 20 holes of my wheat folder.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I did find a few interesting pieces I have some questions on just to work on my knowledge and get back into the swing of things after a break from the hobby.&nbsp; First and foremost I&#039;m 100% aware I have nothing special or valuable here.</p><p><br /></p><p>That being said, here&#039;s a few interesting ones I pulled aside.</p><p><br /></p><p>#1</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1590154[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This one has a decent amount of wear obviously but I&#039;m wondering if the date in particular is struck through grease or a weak strike perhaps? I can&#039;t make out the final digit of the year.</p><p><br /></p><p>#2</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1590155[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s another perhaps better example.&nbsp; Most of the date on this one stands nice and tall but the 7 is barely visible.&nbsp; Actually was harder to see under my loupe.&nbsp; Again, struck through grease?</p><p><br /></p><p>#3</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1590156[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>One more example, this one with the biggest contrast in my opinion as the coin isn&#039;t all that worn, most of the date and the rim stand nice and tall but the 2 is barely visible.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>#4</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1590159[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Last one - This one I&#039;m just not sure about.&nbsp; Is this a cleaned or dipped coin?&nbsp; It&#039;s super bright, too bright isn&#039;t it?&nbsp; I know nothing about picked out cleaned coins and it frankly doesn&#039;t matter much on this one but I&#039;m just using it as a learning experience so any insight is helpful.&nbsp; Thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Oh I did find a couple of older wheats in very worn condition, a 1918 and a 1917.&nbsp; Otherwise was a pretty unexciting 5 rolls.&nbsp; Was nice to fill in some of my folder though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
