<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 8291810, member: 106826&quot;]This is a nice circulated specimen.&nbsp; An XF coin but not AU or BU.&nbsp; While it’s possible to find AU/BU coins in circulation, catching anything above say, MS65 has to happen right out of a box of freshly minted and rolled coins.&nbsp; Folks here will search an entire box of freshly minted coins to perhaps find a coin or two that might merit professional grading. Very, very few will tip the scale at MS66.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Your specimen has too many contact marks to make an MS grade.&nbsp; And the wear to the high points will make it hard to designate as almost uncirculated.&nbsp; With the wear and contact marks, you are at a lower grade.&nbsp; But here’s the key: we collect what interests us. What’s appealing.&nbsp; And at a cent, this is economic to do at almost any scale. Add it to your collection or as other have said,&nbsp; trade it with the coin gods by spending it or swapping it out for another cent from the field. Many collectors will constantly upgrade their albums with new and better finds as they come across them.&nbsp; This could be a placeholder until then.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
