<p>[QUOTE="Collecting Nut, post: 24056673, member: 74863"]A few of the other members have all given you a good idea of what to look for. Paddy showed you a NGC graded coin in MS-65 for $23.99. That’s one reason as it will cost you more to grade than it’s worth. If you don’t have an RS Yeoman Redbook you need to buy one. There’s a grading scale that will help you with the condition. You have to look at a lot of coins in order to develop an eye for what to look for. Your coin is soft and mushy like. It has been rubbed and polished to make it look new and shiny.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also it’s a war cent which was made of steel in 1943. Your chances of finding one in a roll that does not exhibit rust is very, very slim. My local dealer sells steal cents 6 for $1.00. Some of these steel Cents have been reprocessed, meaning it has been freshly coated to look new.</p><p><br /></p><p>I for one am glad you posted the coin.
