Just found this 1973 d penny searching coin rolls... Is it worth getting graded?

    • It has rim doubling on both obverse and reverse. Along w/doubling on the memorial building. 15436985948621766254333.jpg 1543698679856469157300.jpg

    Dual misaligned strike.. Minor.
    The TPG's don't attribute them.

    I don’t see the doubling on either side....not worth grading! But a clean 73d. Minor scratches.

    Enjoy the hunt. For now disregard whatever you may have heard about having coins graded. It is a costly process that should only be reserved for a very few coins. Spend some time to learn and absorb what creates value in a coin. Go to the five and dime and pick up a Redbook. Spend time here reading and learning. Then when that prime coin does come your way you will be better prepared to make that jump. Welcome to CT.

    The only coins that should be graded are the coins that you believe, truly believe, are worth thousands because they are spotless. You may come across one when you go through the rolls... you never know. Good luck!

    Sorry for my manners!! Welcome to ct!! I’m new here too! But I can tell you one thing..... these guys here will not steer you wrong! You can learn a lot from just reading post about different coin and note. I searched a lot of different site and I feel very welcome here even though I ask some stupid questions sometime. There is ALOT of knowledge here that hopefully someday I can obtain. These guys and girls will help you learn! They have been in this game for a long time!

    By the way... thanks ct

    In most cases the answer is no (to grading).
    Coins that need to be graded are very valuable, rare, or require certification that they are genuine. Or, errors, varieties etc.
    If you like this cent (I would certainly keep it) just put it in a 2x2 coin flip.
