Hi, I have a 1959 d Lincoln memorial cent in flawless condition ( to the naked eye anyway.) Is it worth having it checked out and graded? I'm sure it would be a great addition to the right collection.
First of all, Welcome ! The answer is no . Please get yourself a "Red Book " and learn what's valuable and what's not . Very Helpful . It all depends on the year and Condition based on A Grading scale .
I would have to say "No". For less than the cost of grading, you can buy an entire roll of spotless Red Gems of that date/mm...much more suitable for grading. It's a nice coin, though. It will look nice in an album. Welcome to CT!
With a high mintage and likely a large population of high-quality specimens that were saved right after the design change that year, not worth your time. Put the money into some other coins for the set!
