    What do you think about this penny? It was given to me by my brother (who's on this site somewhere), who bought a whole roll of 74 s' about the same grade.

    Thanks for that, but I'm more interested in an approximate grade.

    Couldn't tell you without better pics. I'd hazard a guess at MS63 RB.

    I guy I met at a small show awhile back has rolls of most dates from 1959 -2008 cents in Bu condition. ( Minus the 60-p-d small dates and 70-s small date ofcoarse)
    he sells them for 25cents each for people looking to fill album holes.

    You coin is worth about 3 cents, If it was ms-65 or higher you might get a buck for it on ebay if you offer free shipping . Its to small of a pic but i think i see
    some slight wear on abes cheek and to alot of contact marks on the obverse, I cant even make out the steps inthe pic but if they have any wear at all its not gona grade above AU

    If you click on the pic a few times it enlarges. Definitely has many hits on it => no better than ms63.

    #2 AU to MS-62 (as best as I can tell from micro pics)

    Looks uncirculated for sure. Nice coin. I like the '68-'74-S cents for some reason. I almost have a roll of them that I've come across.

    Yeah. Sorry about the small pictures. I do the best I can with my sub-par photography system. I've been working with my girlfriends camera and macro lens a bit recently. It works good, but I'm lacking in the lighting department.
