If you are asking if you should submit your coin for grading, the answer is probably not. Unless your coin would grade MS 67 or better, which based on your pictures it would not, it would cost more in grading fees than it is worth.

By the way, your images are both blurry and over exposed, making it very difficult to assess the grade.

Keep looking.

 

- Should you take your coin out of the 2x2 before taking pictures (Like we've mentioned plenty of times before)? YES

- Should you work on taking decent photos, as has been suggested plenty of times before? YES

- Should you submit it? NO - why do you think you should do so?

 

Ok why i asked is a Grading Company no names mentioned has one that looks terrible at ms-67 compared to my coin from what I can see blatantly but I'm done im getting a camera befor i post another coin thanks for your feedback greatly appreciated

 

No offense Willy, but you've thought you've had high grade coins in the past and that hasn't panned out. I think you need to spend some more time learning and less time worrying about finding a diamond in the rough.

 

i o

 

Its all good just looks like a much higher grade than they have photos of im not trying to get rich really im just trying to help find a higher grade than what they have listed

 

I guarantee that it doesn't. Even though your pictures are grainy, you can see plenty of scratches and stuff in the fields.

 

I took it out of the flip took several more pics look at theres look what i got in a coin rollbig difference

 

You posted a crap-ton of repeats. You could perhaps edit the post to the relevant pictures

 

They are differnt differnt angles im trying my best i cant figure out how to edit them sorry bud

 

Those scratches are die scratches on the fields not one gouge on the rv or the profile nor any on the memorial all stairs are visible just cant tell in the angle of the the pics

 

What type of phone are you using? I think your issue is that you may be using the zoom too much. Take the picture from further away and not using zoom. You'd be surprised how much clearer your pictures will be.

 

Those scratches are not die scratches. They are not on the die. They are either on the planchet (pre-strike) and not obliterated by the strike, or more likely, they are contact marks from other coins post-strike.

You would benefit from researching the minting process. If you like Lincolns, I recommend A Guidebook of Lincoln Cents by Q. David Bowers. It is an excellent read.

 

Ok thank you what are these scratches called

 

I'm not sure what you're referring to, but I imagine you mean contact marks (they're also commonly referred to as bag marks).
Also, please crop your photos so you eliminate most of the extraneous subject matter. It takes up less space and allows the viewer to focus on what you want them to see.

 

That will never happen with Cents found in circulation.

 

What they are showing in ms 67 are GAHBADGE thats the boston accent coming out when i get frustrated
