<p>[QUOTE=&quot;benne911, post: 1164622, member: 30663&quot;]Hi, I am more of a beginner coin collector. I am attempting to put together a set of lincoln wheat cents. I have a box of wheat cent rolls that my grandfather had left for me. I have finished going through the box (no major dates, but a nice mix) and am filling the holes in my dansco album. I have found a couple from the 30&#039;s that seem to be in au/ borderline ms with luster. Is this possible from coins which i believe he took from change? Is there a way to tell if certain questionable coins have been cleaned?</p><p>The coin in question (not a rare date, just asking for my knowledge in collecting) is a 1936. It appears to have mint luster around the numbers and border (but most of the coin is not that normal darker brown that you ssee with old circulated wheats). the features of the coin are still strong such as the hair, ear, words, date, and the wheat on the back still has the lines clearly visible etc. Is it possible it is uncirculated or likely cleaned? Im assuming he had these stored away for years. I can upload a pic if needed.</p><p>If this has been asked before im sorry, ive searched and cannot find an answer. Thankyou[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
