@mgmgmg75 already graded it for ya pretty much, just send him your 30$ does not make your coin worth more. errors are worth what someone wants to pay at the time, not really set prices. Hey its a pretty cool find.
Flip it over. It says what it's worth, right on the back. You can't miss it, it's in really big capital letters.
I can't tell if the "worm" is raised metal. But the lamination and "worm" are minor, couple that with the wear state, and the cost of grading outweighs its' value. Still, it is in much better shape than most 52-Ds you find CRH these days, (I am presuming that's how you found it), a nice album filler. In the future, tell us the errors you think you see, not just "it has errors". You will learn more that way and forum members can offer better advice...Spark
just try to describe things as completely as you can. Otherwise you leave it up to us to try and figure out what you are thinking of .. a difficult task even with today's technology. I first saw this before anyone posted but wasn't sure as I saw the damage of some type to the left of Lincoln's shoulder in an arc shape. And was curious if the reverse was also damage vs a potential lamination issue. but then, I wasn't sure what you were asking about anyways .... and thougt I'd wait to see what other's thought.
Fair enough, sorry about that. Actually, what I said was misleading. As a "Wheat," it could be worth up to two to three times what I said. That's a 100-200% ROI, and of course nothing to sneeze at.
I’ve had this with other coins for a long time. I just started to look at them. I’m not sure what I’m doing as I just started to watch videos about coins. I’m slowly learning. I guess I wanted to know if these errors were worth anything and validate that they were truly errors. I’m thankful for all your help.
The lamination error on the inside of the wheat stalk is a legitimate error as it occurred in the minting process and not in circulation. Your only issue is, these are real common errors, especially on these older-minted cents. They will warrant a premium, but they have to be really eye-opening and extreme for that. That's of course a pure judgment call. At any rate, die-hard error collectors are your best market for these. And that's it in a nut.
