Again, like with your 1928 Canadian cent, you have a coin worth less than a dollar there. It is a decent circulated coin and by all means you should enjoy it, but would you like to spend $30-40 having it graded and encapsulated, when it is worth less than $1?
Except he's not talking about buying slabbed coins. He's asking about submitting a coin to be slabbed. That's a whole different thing, due to the expenses. When you buy a slabbed coin, somebody else paid for the slabbing, so that doesn't come out of your pocket! But when you "make" one yourself, it tends to be a bit pricier. And it really isn't worthwhile for cheap coins, unless you just really want whatever it is it in a slab. Not that there's anything wrong with cheap coins. Or slabbing coins. You just have to keep the expenses in mind. It might make sense on a $100 coin. On a $1 coin, it might make no sense at all. Cheap coins are just fine to enjoy as-is, without entombing them in expensive TPG plastic.
Of the early wheat cents I think the1919 is the most common. When I dumped out my accumulation a couple of years ago the 1919's took the prize for the most. Others have said the same thing. Here are a couple that were in my stash.
I wouldn't recommend it unless you feel that the expense of greater is worth it for a personal reason, and you can't live without it being in a slab. If sentiment isn't a role then I suggest leaving it the way it is.
No...agree centsless...but a nice keeper for album or even a 2x2. Pretty even if moderate wear and nice color in photos, plus have seen much worse and for those, this is pretty decent.
Welcome to CT @Valar Morghulis. Please remember that old does NOT equate to valuable. You have a nice 1919 Lincoln wheat back cent that would go nicely in a small collection, but nothing else, IMO.
I agree with masterswimmer, it all depends on sentimental and/or historic value to the owner. Self-slabbing would be the cheapest way to preserve the coin, or if the owner has more coins to save/collect, purchasing a Dansco Album 7000 with a slipcover would be the best way to preserve the coins provided they're in 2X2 flips.
It is a nice wheat cent but like everyone has said, not worth sending in!!! Put it in a 2x2 and keep it if you really like it.
In my opinion there are only a handful in the entire Lincoln series that's are worth having graded unless of course they are extremely nice.
