Hey everyone. Heads up new to all this but enjoy a lot just trying to get an idea of the value on this wheat penny its in gorgeous condition..just curious if worth getting graded ..thanx in advance
@Total begginer The images are too small. Can you crop the original images to remove the majority of the background and then resize your images? The coin does appear to be in good condition, but I don't think it would be worth submitting for grading. Chris
Yes, that is a little bit better. However, the next time you want to ask for grading opinions, you will probably get better responses if you can produce images similar in size to the ones below. Chris
Try cropping them then the others will see them. But that looks +-64. That is a very common date. It might be worth a buck or two.
Very good! Now, the only thing you need to remember when uploading the images is to use the "Full Image" option rather than the "Thumbnail" option. Chris
Ikr!! Lol..well I'm totally new to collecting and forums so I'm just learning all kinds of new stuff please bear with me guys I promise I have some interesting to say the least finds and would love some opinions I will be posting many more pics with in a day or so...woo hoo can't wait for everyone's response!!
Gonna have to add that to my list of books too I guess lol..I just got my two latest cherry pickers guides books and have my red book and now blue book ..any others error books out there ?I really love error or varieties not sure which word to use still learning lingo!
What's the difference between red book and blue book? Sorry that's probably a dumb question. I wouldn't get it graded because it is a common date.
The CPG is a nice reference to have, but you should know that there are literally thousands of varieties that are not mentioned in these books. If they were all-inclusive, they would be thousands of pages and cost a heck of a lot more than they do. There is a difference between errors and varieties, but that is a discussion you don't really want to get into at this time. Trust me! Chris
Your pictures are getting better, but none of them are really sharp enough to tell anything more than it looks like you have a couple of decent-looking UNC coins. One more tip: you can take a much better picture when you remove the coin from its holder (referring to the '59-D). My guess is that both are around MS-63 or 64 and probably worth a buck or two apiece. Grading fees and shipping would be much, much more than these coins are probably worth. PS, those are amazing finds if you found them in circulation or roll hunting.
