It's karma for getting screwed on nickels all year

Yes and no. While slabbing will make for an easier sale, when it comes to such obvious varieties, raw will usually sell just fine baring any clear problems.

 

I can't see any stand out obvious problems. Can you?

 

Post a few more (larger ) photos if you can.

 

This is the best I could do with my iphone. I tried a bunch of different methods this morning but didn't have much success. I was thinking of getting a USB microscope but couldn't justify the cost before. Now I'm thinking it may be worth it.
Anyways, let me know what you think about the new picture.

 

All I know is that's a big find! And will you look at the shape he's in!

 

Anyone care to chime in with their opinion on a grade now that there is a bigger picture? He's got a couple nicks on his face. Looks like he cut himself shaving

 

Give the handsome gentleman an AU50.

 

wow incredible find. you were luck. that is a great DDO 1972. get it slabbed.

 

did you put it on a scale yet?????????

 

I don't have a legit scale... but I tried it out on my super-dee-duper popsicle scale it was def heavier than the zincon. 2 things I'm buying this weekend: A USB microscope and a proper scale.

 

I just got my scale from Amazon. The cent weighs in at a perfect 3.11 grams.

 

I had no doubt it was authentic, but thanks for doing he measurement just in case. Huge congrats to you once again.

 

Wow. Just another thing that wants me to get 10 boxes of cents to search, big congratulations on your find.

 

I didn't either but it's always better to be safe than sorry. Don't wanna look like a schmuck if I take it to the Baltimore coin show to get slabbed. I also got a USB microscope so I'm gonna try that out tomorrow.
