What would make this coin worth the grading fees?

 

Not sure why this would be worth the 50-80 bucks to grade this... Is there a DDR or DDO?

 

So.. just because somebody owns a coin store does not mean that they know anything about mint errors or varieties.

Looks like a normal Cent.. worth 1 Cent

 

100 years, would be my answer. JMO

 

Ok… I will bite. Tell me what I am looking at that is beyond the other billion 1982 cents out there?

 

It could have the luster and strike the photos could be cropped and a bit clearer.

 

Thank you buddy it's already fed x

 

Ok buddy tu

 

Come on guys, Willysilver is on an adventure in learning.
Let's all watch along and see what he learns
Some things you learn by doing.

 

Yes, it appears to be a 1982 P small date cent. Did the owner of the coin shop say why you should have it graded?

 

He said the worst I will do is break even this is the first coin I have ever submitted I think its a scam

 

Breaking even isn't the way I would do it.
But as said above you will learn from the experience.

 

Sounds like a money maker for the grading companies and a poor choice sender.
Don't forget the shipping costs Both ways.
Slabing IMO is better left for rare, vintage or high value items.

 

I will do this one time just to test the waters it's a scam

 

It's not a scam. It is understanding what the services are looking for when grading a coin.
What your dealer and what you think looks great may differ. High end coins have to have incredible luster if it doesn't it probably won't even make a 65.

 

You call this luster

 

And that's with photo shop and professional lighting and a real camera you need sunglasses to look at my penny it's so bright

 

Nice cent, post up the picture of the slab and grade when it comes back.
Didn't I read someplace where the grading companies were only guaranteeing the grade on Cents for a certain amount of time?? (Like 10 years??)

 

I know that NGC limits old copper to ten years. Don't know if that applies to the zinc core modern stuff.
