Your title.............gradex? Do you mean graded? Based on those photos, I don't know if it would be worthwhile.

Chris

 

Yes graded and all damage was done during die process if the 78 hardly been touched, not even worn

 

dude man, i dont mean to be so direct... but you cant even barley see the date in your pictures haha it almost hurts to look at, and DEFIANTLY dont get that graded...

 

I know but dude it is a 1968 s red penny and I'll try to post better picture

 

Honestly though, in my opinion (this is probably just me) i collect alright examples of pennies that are copper, just incase the govornment allows the melting of copper pennies, i dont keep them for their copper, i believe after a long period of time after a law like that is passed where the copper coins can be melted down, they will be very much harder to find much like the silver quarters/war nickels. i keep them, because i hope for collectors to want them later when examples like this will be very hard to find.

 

and i have to tell you this, your penny is brown, and very well circulated. Red cent i believe are referring to RED BU penny (BU meaning brilliant uncirculated) ALSO meaning it must be next to near perfection... i understand what you are thinking though and i have been there myself

 

This is Red penny! These are about a buck a piece due to the fact a lot of them were made in High production quantity.. You would be more apt to send a penny with low mintage, that is in about AU (almost uncirculated condition or better, ( like a 1909 S VDB (1only half million made), 1931 S (under a million)
But i would think a coin like that would sell it self without the grade a lot quicker than with the grade, cause with the grade usually comes higher prices, and not a lot of people are willing to spend a lot of money of low mint years, in hopes they find it?

 

Here you go

 

It's not brown

Look at how much you will be losing.. It costs about 30 bucks give or take a 10 dollar i think depending the grading company.. you will be paying 30 dollars to represent a coin that is worth 2 dollars, a grade.......

 

Welcome to Coin Talk. This may help you make a better comparision of your coin.

 

Try using a white backgroud to take photos on. Your coin looks the same color as your brown table. We can only judge from what we see in your photos.

 

blended so well i almost thought it was a Woodie

 

Not one of these cents are worth the cost of sending to get graded.

 

Are those all yours?

 

Nope not tthat color of brown you know I have more a whole bunch check of double die here but I guess you can read about it when theyare auctioned off
