Is this the type of coin that I should send off to get graded because I have many more like this at younger dates if not better, but would this be grade worthy, I’ve never sent off a coin this is, simply magnificent!!!zero scratches, zero abrasion zero no nothing. It’s insanely reflective and the cartwheel effect is simply mind blowing gorgeous.is this what I should striving for when it comes to sending a coin off? I took multiple pictures with different lighting tell me how and where could I improve at when it comes to taking good pictures.. Updated the pictures using a coin light set up in the closet P.s above the N in One on the back looks like a horizontal serf P.S.S is there possibly a double ear going on but shifted to the rightside and slightly upwards some
Keep it and enjoy it for what it is. The spots on the reverse would surely keep it from getting a very high MS grade, and you'd need at least a 68 to make it worth the grading cost.
It’s nice but not worth the cost to have it graded. That would be wasting your hard earned money. Just put on a flip to protect it.
IT actually appears to be another S on the S in Plurubis, but im prob wrong, and. Horizontal serf above One on the reverse ill take a couple pics under the microscope, i just dont like the lighting much on it lol
If you would like to send it in, go for it. It's unlikely to be worth the cost, but you may as well start somewhere. I'd suggest the ANACS 10 coin special. If you have an NGC or PCGS membership, of course, use your preferred TPG.
Okay no I understand and I heard Anacs was cheaper, but my question to that now is can you have something graded from anacs and later on want to get it graded by NGC or PCGS is that possible, of course paying their fee assuming as well
That spot..... It's a nice looking zincoln cent, but that spot is the beginning of things about to turn bad. The devices on the coin look nicely struck though. I'd keep your hard earned money and just as @Collecting Nut said, keep it in a flip or 2x2.
Danny there is a big difference between contact marks, IE focal marks and circulation marks. Also the luster is what is considered when coins reach that gem+ status. I am not seeing that blazing luster associated with a high grade coin. You would need a 68+ or 69 to make money on the grading fees and postage.
My first time sending coins for grading, I included some MS65ish war nickels, and they weren't worth the average $25 or whatever grading cost/shipping, but they had nice toning and I wanted them in TPG plastic for my own collection. So the way I see it, if someone wants to drop $250 on a membership and send in 10+ coins, go for it. Another $50 in registered shipping, and it's not too expensive of a learning experience. I wouldn't change my experience.
It's a good point... The intent of slabbing coins has become a monstrosity and I believe has veered off course from what it was meant to be.... I have two uncirculated 64 JFK halves that came from my grandmothers coin purse when she passed. She had wrapped them in wax paper to keep them pretty. I have been debating on having those two halves slabbed for future family generations. Financially, that would be a big loss, but for the sake of future family, the slabbing would be priceless.
If you can enhance the worth more then what it costs to grade it, go for it, but am not a Lincoln expert so not sure what the value of the coin actually is.
