    this is one cool find (for me any ways).

    Should I send it in? Or is it junk?

    What do you mean by send it in?

    What do you see?
    All I see is an old Cent with circulation damage.

    If you're asking about sending it to be graded, you should be aware of the costs. Grading is going to cost you around $30-$50 total. Your coin is damaged but worth 2-3 cents because it's a wheat cent.

    So you see where this math is taking us. You need to make sure the coin is worth enough to grading to make sense (or make "cents" :facepalm:)
    BTW, your coin wouldn't even receive a grade due to the damage. But you still are stuck paying the fees

    Your education followed a certain path, and each step led to another for a reason. Kindergarten >>> elementary school >>> junior high school (middle school for some) >>> high school >>> college.

    You, like so many other newcomers to the hobby, are going about it the wrong way. You need to learn about the minting process before you start looking for errors. You need to learn how to grade coins to determine their value and if they are worthwhile for TPG submission.

    Did someone or something put dollar signs in your eyes? I don't know whether your first introduction to numismatics was through BoobTube (no offense intended) or simply reading a book like "Strike It Rich With Pocket Change", but you have a long, long way to go before you become proficient. Just have some fun while you're "hitting the books".
