Fun find, sure, but I'm sorry to say your grade estimate is way high.

 

Yeah those pictures don't do it justice this coin is immaculate Ok so like 58 ? How about the s on the rv what about the cud

 

Nice find, but I'm sorry to tell you that you can buy something like this for <$1 at most local Coin Shows. I am assuming the S on the reverse is the mark above the lower side of the left wheat stalk (that's the only thing I see). It's from some contact after it left the mint and usually referred to as PMD (post mint damage). I don't see anything resembling a cud, but there is some dark residue on the obverse above the date.

BTW: Welcome to Coin Talk

 

The s in United States the second s in states on the reverse has a huge. On the top of the s I'll take a better picture and send it

 

I see what you mean. It looks like a die chip in the upper loop of the S. A die chip is a mint error, but this one is small and doesn't add any value

 

Here's some better pics

 

Simple problem, simple solution, post better and more useful pictures.

For all anyone knows, the blobs of whatever are far from permanent and it's nicer than your poor pictures show.

Consider you know the pictures are poor yet you still want some kind of meaningful grade??? I don't understand that.

 

The reverse is in bad shape. AU 53ish. Retail 15 cents.

 

MS67 WHAT? sorry but I would say it's AU, reverse has tons of marks and that massive spot on the obverse is ugly

 

Thanks

Its dirt bro maybe i clean it for you ok!

 

[Edit]

 

Sometimes this is the best people can do with pics. New collectors don’t always know what kind of quality is needed. To expect someone new to the hobby to go out of their way to get a perfect picture to ask a simple question is unreasonable.

Many of us can see the areas that the OP is questioning. Even with the mediocre pics, it’s obvious that the coin isn’t a high grade MS example, the dark blobs are some sort of dirt, and the Die chip is easily visible. The OP has enough info to understand what he has and there is no need to become the Ansel Adams of digital Numismatic digital photography.

There are many instances on CT when the pic is completely useless. When a couple of responses politely point this out the OP usually gets the message. When several posts have already provided some answers, berating the OP for knowingly posting less than optimal pics really doesn’t help.

 

There are many books out there on grading, they are pretty good, the best is experience though.
Although a wheat cent is fun to find. Yours is XF-Au details and corroded.

 

I'm not berating the OP although I'd question anyone that should know better and that determines the pictures are sufficient to grade the coin. They really aren't and the OP knows it, says so himself.

They are sufficient to determine it isn't within the realm of what he suggested.

You don't have to be Ansel Adams to take digital pictures with the simplest of point and shoot devices and take enough of them to get a few that appear realistic. It isn't like you have to wait several days for the film to be processed to find out every shot you took was of Almost OK.

 

...every thread shouldn't be turning into a critique of new member's photography skills. Nobody wants to hear it and it gets tiring. The photograph OP posted is perfectly adequate to assess the coin and help him learn.

When a member needs better photographs to properly assess a coin, somebody is usually willing to take the time to walk them thru the process. Macro photography is not a skill people normally master during casual, everyday photography since most people normally take photographs of other people and landscapes.

 

He critiqued it himself in case you missed that.

"Perfectly adequate"? Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.

 

Nice find. No real value but unusual to find in circulation.

Keep looking!

 

It's 62 years old...I wish I could find a '55 Chevy in that condition!! Keep and enjoy it!
