Hi I’m amy. I have a 1975 D penny with what I believe are huge die cracks??? They are on the monument side of the coin only. what would this coin sell for. And how do I send the pics I took of it to this site
Also are u supposed to clean ur coins?? I saw a video of a guy using baking soda and water and cleaning his coins. Thanks. I’m very new at this and just starting out
Not supposed to clean your coins!!!! Use water and maybe dawn dish detergent and a very soft bristled toothbrush. Only if needed. Otherwise, they are considered cleaned Coins. And that is not good. If you want to sell them. If they are worth a premium and they are cleaned Coins, then that devalues them.
Amy your likely circulated 75 Lincoln is best to be kept to look at and study, even with a die crack on the reverse by the memorial will not give it much value. unless its major mint error, and even then they are pretty common.

Copper is a soft metal and it can easily be moved. On a coin all sorts of crazy things can happen. Ever seen a T in trust turned into a 1?
Nope. Have not seen that yet. Lol. I have a lot of copper pennies saved and 33 wheat pennies. Where is the best place to get the best value for them? I have a friend of the family that owns a coin shop but is that the best way to go?
Hi Imho, It all depends. A) sell to a dealer who will offer less B) put it all on E-bay C) organize the collection, sort out the years (example 1800-2019) look for key dates, then look for errors and varieties that are worth it. D) throw it all on your bed , admire your awesome collection and then roll in it. I’d probably pick D
