  They look like they’ve been in a war. Or freshly pulled from the pocket of a grease monkey at the local Phillips 66.
  Nice finds now clean your coins 😛

  You know that cleaning coins is not acceptable. If I send them to be graded, they will come back as detail - cleaned coins. Ha Ha

  Surprised so many of the same "W" in single roll. Weren't they supposed to be mixed better into the general population to make them scarcer to find?

  In 2019 they didn't really know how to mix them, several rolls had multiple W's, in 2020 they got better...> @JWP said:

  No one would send those coins in for grading, clean and give to your grandkids...
