<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tfj, post: 1488047, member: 39153&quot;]So weight came back at 3.1 grams, so it definitely at least *was* a penny. The owner of the local shop is on vacation, so I won&#039;t be able to get any more info locally until he gets back. They did at least put it in a coin holder. At the other smaller shop, the guy was insistent that the coin was nothing more than a copper nickel, but he didn&#039;t seem all that knowledgeable.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can someone explain to a coin noob how the grading process works? How much will it cost to get this coin &quot;graded and slabbed&quot;? Do we need to insure it when shipping, and if so, how much would we insure it for? Will the grading process also give the coin an rough estimate of the collector&#039;s value?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks to everyone for the help so far in identifying this coin![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
