Can somebody help me I'm learning how to grade this and finding out if it has any value please and thank you
When asking others to grade any coin you need to take it out of the 2x2 unfortunately .. the glare of light on the clear film changes the appearance of a coin.
Your coin looks like it is a well struck specimen. It looks to be in uncirculated condition. I noted a small cabon spot on the left obverse. It should be worth approx 5-15¢. IMO.
YouTube is so full of misinformation. It is unbelievable. My best advice is forget YouTube and read the RS Yeoman Red Book. The red book list of grading scale for all type coins. Well, not 100% accurate it will help you 100% more than YouTube. The cent you posted is nice looking but they’re very common and the retail on them is less than $.50 a piece in that condition. That makes the value to you lower than $.50 as the dealer has to make a profit to stay in business.
I forgot to tell you @Kc 17 That one you have coins in a cardboard flip like had the 1963-D cent in, that you need to crimp those staples flat. Notice how they’re rounded and sticking up? When coins are removed from a flip with staples, if the staples are not crimp flat, they can cause a scratch on the coin. Of course, the staple has to touch the coin, but once that happens, it’s too late. If it’s crimp flat, there’s a lot less likely chance that will happen.
Assuming you keep in in the cardboard flip for years, it is unlikely uncrimped staples will scratch that coin, but very likely they will scratch other coins in your collection, especially those in similar cardboard flips. Definitely flatten them.
This. And tell all your friends.If you look at a price guide, in MS65 gem condition it would be worth $7 and cost you $40-50 to get that grade. No doubt the charlatan on YouTube is telling everybody that your coin is worth $6300 because one in MS67RD sold for $6300 one time.
