1914 D Lincoln Wheat

[FavoriteSon-migration]

Hi Everyone,

 

I submitted my first penny to this board a few days ago and got some great feedback that the coin had been cleaned. I since did a lot research regarding the "cartwheel" effect and found that most of my coins that I thought were RD appear to have been cleaned. Anyway as I am learning to grade I came across this 1914 D BN penny. What do you think the grade might be?

 

Thanks

Welcome. Your coin has G06 detail (maybe VG8 on a good day) but likely would not grade because of environmental damage on the reverse. I would soak it in acetone to try to neutralize the black spots.

 

It's a $150 coin if you can get those spots under control.

The sharpness grade is Fine-12, but the piece does have some spots, and that dig to the right of "N" in "CENT" on the reverse might put it into an "genuine" holder. I don't think that it will get a "clean grade" which is too bad because the coin otherwise is not bad for a well circulated piece.
