<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gboulton, post: 1265129, member: 27043&quot;]The following is meant as a constructive suggestion, not a shot at you.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is absolutely no way that any true MS66 cent has &quot;visible wear&quot;, since the very definition of a mint state coin includes a complete lack of wear.&nbsp; After all...the coin didn&#039;t leave the mint with wear, thus if it has even the tiniest amount of wear, it is no longer in the state it was in when it left the mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your casual use of the term suggests you either do not fully grasp the actual condition of &quot;mint state&quot;, or that you do not understand the numismatic terms necessary to correctly categorize a coin as such, or are referencing severely overgraded coins without recognizing them as such.&nbsp; At the VERY least, you&#039;ve chosen to ignore the proper definition of either (or both) in a discussion where accurate terminology can mean thousands of dollars.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again...this isn&#039;t a shot at you at all...merely some rationale to most strongly encourage that you heed what Collect89 said...let some established and credible experts give you an opinion before you spend the time and money to have them graded.</p><p><br /></p><p>Far be it from me to say your coins AREN&#039;T high grade Mint State coins.&nbsp; I (and I think all of us here) certainly hope they are, and wish you the best of luck with them.&nbsp; I just hope you enter the process with at least a fighting chance of reaping the reward you expect.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
