    I happened to find this 1959 Memorial Cent in pocket change, and am getting mixed results on whether it could be worth the big bucks (or at least grading). Any and all feedback is much appreciated.

    Nope, worth a cent. Maybe if it graded MS67+ or so you could get a good amount for it, although your example is a much lower circulated example.

    Here’s a more realistic pic. I’m inclined to believe it’s at least a 66-67

    You may be inclined, but the grading services won't! There are too many nicks on the obverse, alone.

    You can definitely see some minor rubs on the high points, so I would say high AU somewhere. Even if it was ms, it would be in the lower range, a lot of nicks and minor scratches. 1959 cents were saved in huge numbers and have little value in AU and lower ms grades.

    No way.

    Send it in for grading then get back to us.

    A pocket find tells you it's in circulated condition. Put it in a flip and enjoy it for what it is, a nice circulation find.

    How many coins have you graded thus far, lol? But it's a shiny one, good find.
