BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19961 Posts	Posted 09/26/2011 11:57 am AU55-MS63, hard to say because I don't think the TPG's are very good at grading rare coins like this. Nonetheless, it should definately go to PCGS. It's worth joining PCGS for just this one coin, it's worth a few thousand. Lincoln Cent Lover!

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19961 Posts	Posted 09/26/2011 12:04 pm Quote: Personally I don't see any reason why it needs to be certified. Is there any reason to believe that it might be fake? I know the Chinese are counterfeiting a lot of things, but 1992 cents? Certifiy it to prove what it is? These are so easy to identify that if you need a TPG to tell you it is a Close AM you probably shouldn't be buying it anyway. And if you do know what it is, why do you need the TPG to tell you what you already know? Do you realize how rare this coin is? It needs to be certified because it's extremely rare and valuable. AFAIK, it is the rarest transitional variety known. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff

chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 09/26/2011 12:48 pm Get it certified by PCGS- it will increase the value of the coin substantially over keeping it raw! Report this Post to the Staff

Yes I do, but it is also extremely easy to identify. The coin is circulated so there is no question about hair splitting MS grades. Frankly with a coin this rare the grade isn't going to matter that much anyway. Report this Post to the Staff

jokingjoker Pillar of the Community United States 2150 Posts	Posted 09/26/2011 1:59 pm I think PCGS is the way to go on this also. If you plan on selling it, you will get the best price if its in PCGS plastic. Even if you plan to keep it, it will be encapsulated and protected. Congrats on a great find!
