[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 4728674, member: 10461"]Environmental damage, but a nice find nonetheless. Congrats. Definitely not bad at all for a bulk lot of Wheaties from the flea market. I never get tired of showing off the coin below, which I found in a bulk Wheat cent lot in 2006. Many of the coins in the lot had been harshly cleaned to an unnatural orange. Then there was this one, which seemingly hadn't been messed with. There was a little piece of dirt covering the mintmark. Hey, I was happy enough to find an XF 1914(-P) cent in there. But when I got a toothpick and removed the piece of scuzz from below the date, I shouted in surprise. "D" doesn't just stand for "dirt"! So I bought this for less than a nickel. It graded XF40 at PCGS. Sold it in the range of $700 or so. That was one of my best cherrypicks. Keep hunting! Good luck! [IMG]http://images.pcgs.com/TrueView/11698517_Large.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
