<p>[QUOTE=&quot;VT4Pac, post: 3199333, member: 94961&quot;]I&#039;m no expert by any means, but as far as &quot;what&#039;s the grade&quot; of your coin, you would need quality photos of both the obverse and reverse to get even a remotely close estimate as to what the grade might be.</p><p><br /></p><p>Strike is one of the factors amongst others. Also taken into account are surface preservation, luster (really needs to be evaluated in hand), and eye appeal which can include color/toning.</p><p><br /></p><p>This particular coin is clearly a worn die strike as I am sure you are aware. It also has marks above the date, on the rim, and on Lincoln&#039;s facial features. These would detract from the value. As Idres Pappas said its worth one cent.</p><p><br /></p><p>PCGS has some great online resources for grading, including pics and even a video series you can check out if you are considering getting any of your coins graded. Definitely continue to post pics and ask questions before you actually submit any coins to a TPG. I&#039;m not sure about CoinTalk, but there are other coin collecting forums out there that have specific subforums dedicated to grading estimates where people post coins and those more experienced give their thoughts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
