I have recently won a raffle at my LCS for a PGS Ms69 certified Wheat Cent. I have not heard of PGS, and was wondering if the grade is reliable. The red book lists A MS 67 at $425.
That slab comes apart pretty easy, it is a self slab. you should try and get a better pic of the obverse and reverse, it looks like a 64R maybe a 65R. depending on luster.
MS 69 is almost perfect. Which is not likely with a business/ circulation strike. To my ignorant eyes this coin is not even MS-65. This coin is worth around $1. Congratulations! You are the big winner. It does look red which is nice, and the reverse is decent. The obverse is kind of mushy, MS 63/64 RD. WHERE IS ED WOOD WHEN YOU NEED HIM?
Oh it's a nice coin, and I would like to have it. But you know they aren't giving away some thousand dollar coin. It's a keeper. Nice color. I like the wheat backs. And it could be worth more than I said, that's just my opinion.
Yeah, from the time I first saw it I knew it probably wasn't a MS 69 saying that a coin is graded on a scale from 1 to 70. But I thought it was a neat coin and would look nice in my collection.
