1935 P Lincoln cent Cleaned or not cleaned?

#1 Unread post by pnwmakes »

Just found this 1935 P Lincoln cent coin roll hunting. Found it in a box from the bank wrapped by Loomis. Was wondering does it look cleaned or not? Just have never found a 30's cent that looks this good. Thank you.

It's 86 years old. I'm sure it's been cleaned at least once.

It's circulated but I am not sure I would called this cleaned. It has some toning obviously.

Nice find!

And, just in case...no...you would lose a lot of money getting it graded!
