MS65 at best. Not worth grading.

Not worth grading, but still a very nice looking cent.

Way too much spotting. The fields look like they have a lot of problems. How did you get the pictures so "enhanced" ? I'm sure that is not how the cent looks in hand.

very nice looking cent, but yes, if you sent it in, it would most likely come back as a 'Details' coin.

well marve65 that's exactly how the coin looks in hand. My pictures are from the Tomlov pro 602. That why I uploaded the coin as it was something I've have not ran across before.

Nice cent but save your money, not worth the expense of grading.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art

question do you guys want me to take a pic of all 50 of the remaining 1979 coins as this again is something that's blowing my mind. I mean they wont be zoomed in as much as ill use my iPhone but you can get an idea of the details and shininess. Again I am not looking to sell any nor make a million but to have a coin that 67+ is a goal to add to my collection. Again this is just the year 79 as I have more like this from 1959 to 1989

That is a good looking cent!

Grading will eat into any profit. The coin sells itself, no need for getting a TPG involved.

If it were me, I would sort them out. Find the best of the best ones and share them individually. Perhaps one it worth the time sending in.

That is a worthy goal, so ignore my previous comment about profit.

However, I would still want you to just focus in sorting the best examples from the rest, then we can help you assess their potential.

Same process. Sort out the best ones for review.

This is a great find! I anticipate they are all going to be worth keeping and protecting. Enjoy the sorting!

I split the second on into a new topic to avoid confusion...

Also, I moved this to the main US Modern coins forum since it is not a V/E question.
