WOW!! 1922 no m/m wheatie

[swingin_n_sc]

Guys, I found this yesterday at an old homesite. I've never seen one before in person. I have seen one with a faint m/m, but this one has absolutely no sign even under magnification. The pics are the best I can do and really doesn't do the coin justice. Any suggestions on how to clean the dirt off would be welcomed. The coin has a very good rim and no pitting or damage. It does have a green patina that I would like to keep. BTW no oil or anything put on coin yet. Thanks for looking. swingin

Guys, I posted this wheatie around 5 or 6 weeks ago. It took forever to get it back from anacs. But it was worth the wait. I wonder what are the chances of finding one of these. Truely my best find so far. Hope you enjoy. Swingin

Good job of leaving it alone (no cleaning) cause then it would of been slabed with two problems.

When a heavily corroded penny is slabbed does the corrosion completely
stop or does it continue to deterioate?

Nova:

Repeating my question, when grading services slab coins do they remove
soil encrustation or slab the coin "as is"?
