That Coin Dude Pillar of the Community United States 1427 Posts	Posted 03/24/2021 02:05 am Most pennies are never going to come close to breaking even with the cost to grade. If you want it for collectors value, 2x2. If you want it in a fancy plastic container then sure. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/24/2021 04:32 am A coin needs to have a retail value of at least $150 after slabbing to justify all costs involved. Please crop photos properly before posting...thanks. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19288 Posts	Posted 03/24/2021 07:54 am Nice example. Sadly, there's an abundance of low-to-mid range MS '61 cents 'out there'. Back in the day, many collectors hoarded thousands and thousands of rolls of cents from this era. Over the years many of these rolls were broken open and many BU+ coins have found their way into circulation. I unloaded several tubes of these earlier this year--all in the MS62-64 range. Your example would make a good album/folder hole filler. Edited by ijn1944 03/24/2021 07:55 am Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19986 Posts	Posted 03/25/2021 6:12 pm Nice find but it's not worth much as these were minted by the billions. Most of them are MS-60 to MS-64, this one would fall into that range and be worth 5-10 cents. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
