~NICE Semi Key 1924-D Wheat~

[Goes4ever]

I dug this saturday and just got to cleaning it up last night, I was out of peroxide and I knew this wheat would be a good canidate for a peroxide bath, I think it came out just awesome....a nice rich chocolate color, no corrossion anywhere.

In 5 yrs I have dug WELL over 3,000 wheat pennies and this is the best (most valuable) wheat I have ever dug, sure I have gotten a few $5, $10 dollar wheats, but this is my first real decent semi key.....I guess I was due!

what do you think it would grade at? I am hoping possibly Fine?

WTG Terry on the nice find.

I know I haven't found a 24D yet and I sure would like too. I would say it's a good fine to VF maybe. either way it's a great find..

I find new pennies in worse shape than that. I think that easily makes Fine. Nice job and congrats!

Congratulations on an awesome find, that 1924-d wheat looks to be at least a $50 coin or more if you decide to sell it.

Nice one Terry !
An uneducated opinion ... Fine to Very Fine.

Take a look at this coin grading by photo website site - just hold your coin up to the photo's - a good site to have bookmarked >>> http://www.pcgs.com/Photograde/

Maybe I dont pay enough attention - cleaning with peroxide? Do you just clean pennies with it, and how does that work?
