<p>[QUOTE="BlondeWhit, post: 3671458, member: 99159"]First let me clarify that the very last picture is a different penny but was not an accident when I posted it. At the end of my main question, I have one tiny little question that I hope someone could answer. But it's such a short question that I felt it would be easier to just let it tag along on this post instead of making one all about it seperately.

[QUOTE="BlondeWhit, post: 3671458, member: 99159"]First let me clarify that the very last picture is a different penny but was not an accident when I posted it. At the end of my main question, I have one tiny little question that I hope someone could answer. But it's such a short question that I felt it would be easier to just let it tag along on this post instead of making one all about it seperately. Anyways... I have never asked this question before but after finding this penny in such great shape i couldnt resist asking yall! I dont know a whole lot about grading. Ive read and learned plenty but have zero experience with actually grading coins and then factoring in the year and how old it is etc... I figured this would be the best place to ask and see if ive got something thats worth anything or if its just a plain ole 1 cented pretty penny I also wasnt sure if these pics I posted are even enough to tell. If i need to zoom in more and post anything else that could help make it easier please let me know. Also the last 2 pics of the 61' penny have a close up of the tiny lincoln on reverse side. He's doubled; Lol it looks like he has a ghost behind him! Not sure if its because of machine doubling or that i got lucky enough for it to be a doubled die. Id be so greatful for any help/ advice! Oh, and back to that second unrelated question.
