Your Redbook lists prices for Graded coins. So add an initial cost of $30 to $40 to get it graded for the final value of 25 cents max if it was worth that.
Wow. Rough crowd. I assumed the OP had thoughts that he might have a very valuable coin. Someone looking to fill a book would probably pay $.25 for it. Page 20 of my 2019 redbook says all values under $500. are for raw coins.
Ok, I should make sure I have a real valuable coin next time that way it will be worth taking shots at each other maybe, coin talk is not for me. I'm still searching for that valuable coin.
The pics get a little fuzzy but it almost looks like there could be a little doubling on the IGWT. Since this is a 1972 and numerous doubling varieties exist this should be check out further. If it is then it's worth a little bit of no doubling then it's worth one cent.
It's a nice looking cent, and if you like it you can put it in a 2x2 coin flip and save it. Not all nice looking coins have a lot of value. It's basically 1 cent. It's true there may be an assigned value in a book for such a coin at a certain grade. (10 cents, 20 cents, w/e). But there's no market for this modern cent. Dealers are not buying it from you for a nickel or 10 cents, and reselling it at retail for 20 cents. Maybe, you could find a collector who wants it for their album and it's better than what they have and they might give you a nickel or a dime for it. But are you going to do X number of dollars of work, search, shipping to make a nickel profit? It's a spender. It would have to be super high grade (68,69) to have value.
Thanks for the info, in still real green but I think I have the bug for roll hunting, I'm going to post some more cents tell me what think if have the time.. Thanks again
