I think it would be tough to grade it by comparing it to a graded Lincoln Cent of the same grade. They are drastically different in terms of size...
No, most of the hairlines appear to be on the slab.
Cointrackers isn't always reliable in some regards. To the OP: it is a normal cent struck in Philadelphia. Cents have never carried a P mintmark....
Some of the hairlines seen around the face in the first image appear to be on the slab and not the coin itself to my eyes. I don't see the, in the...
Yeah, I spied that die crack on some large cents months ago and once I saw an affordable one with it that I liked, I just had to have it... :)
@cpm9ball @kanga Undergraded? You tell me. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I wish, but still getting it at $450 was pretty good. Looks like they are selling for much higher in the same grade.
If you don't have a membership for PCGS or NGC, your best bet would be ANACS. That would probably run you up $20+ in shipping and slabbing fees....

From what I have heard, these spots were pretty common on the hoarded large cents. Whether they held it back or not, possibly, but I am not sure....

I received my MS large cent today, graded MS-62 by NGC. I really really like this coin. It was pretty much just what I was looking for...a mint...
Stick a coin in a bag with a hard boiled egg and you can get a coin with a ton of different colors and toning. The simple explanation is that...
It is toning. What created it is exposure to the environment, whether that be by natural or artificial means. It is not something that occurred at...
Sounds about right, though honestly for these types of coins I think buying most raw should suffice. I have a 198X about 60% off center that I...
Well I did better than I thought on my wish list, I bought an MS Coronet head for under $500. I'll be posting it soon.
1983 is tough because there was a lot of plating issues, die deterioration, and die polishing going on that year for some reason. That being said,...
Says in your profile that you are 39 so maybe that is where he got confused. Welcome to the forum. :)
