Why do you think it has extra value?

 

She’s just trying ask for help. Isn’t this site made for discussion and help. Not - edited - who posely think they know Cuzz if they did . They would had given you more manner respectful answer

 

Because the coin guy said I should have it graded and looked at

 

Thank you

 

well, as my ex-wife found out, i am not a mind reader, so if someone puts up a pic of a penny an asks, "just curious on value" with no other information, IMO there is but one answer..

 

I think you need to find a new coin guy.

 

Joy, it would help if you cropped your photos so as to get a better look at the coins you are posting.

 

Me too but I keep going to him because he doesn't collect error coins and I posted a lamination error that he gave me in change

 

I will as soon as the lighting is right

 

@Joy Matherne you can download photoscape for free and even round crop coins. Check it out.

 

You don't spend $30 grading a cent that is probably worth 1 cent.
Even if it was worth a nickel, there's no market for it.
Coins that are valuable are rare, old, the HIGHEST grades, or contain errors.
Even if this is an MS coin, and it is most likely AU, these common modern Lincolns which were produced in massive quantities are not going to justify the cost of grading. OK if it was an MS 69 that's different. But you are not finding a 55 year old cent in MS 69 in circulation. Whoever said to have this coin graded is a hack.
If you like the coin you put it in a 2x2 or an album.
You'll know when you find a rare or high grade coin.
A higher grade of this same coin is worth about 20 cents retail.

People have the wrong idea about grading. Save that for coins worth hundreds of dollars or, a coin that needs to be certified as genuine.

 

Waste of time to even respond.

 

Ok not a problem

 

Joy, did you find that cent or buy it from your "coin guy"?

 

Joy, the coin shows die deterioration and more than moderate wear. That cause the slight amount of doubling effect on Liberty and the image, and pushed the Liberty very close to the edge as the die expanded in diameter from use. I could be missing something as the photo is rather small, but I don't see any more. Jim

 

Dear member since yesterday, there is nothing wrong with the manner of question or comment so far.

Joy has been a member since May 6, and has posted many, many times, mostly the same thing - common circulated coins where "some" coin person said it had particular value, then she comes here & asks a trite or terse question where we have to interpolate what she wants to know by analyzing yet another poor picture. And it seems she still does not possess a Red Book.

She apparently does not learn from one coin post to another, & treats this site like it's Facebook.

Know what you are talking about before you disparage our members & responses!

Oh, one more thing: Un-welcome to CT!

 

And honestly, I was not being rude. I just asked what about the coin made her think it was valuable. Just guessing does no one any good.

 

Everyone on the forum has the right to ask about a coin and not expect criticism for doing so.
Everyone on the forum has a right not to answer about such a coin.

So whats the problem? If you don't want to answer, then do not ! ~ Find a question you know the answer to and IF you want to civilly answer do so or do not answer.

IT is completely voluntary, even if someone alerts you , you do not have to answer.

I hope the posts do not have anything to do with Post #s, or Likes, those are silly things. Jim
