@ Cascade ... with all due respect ... appreciate your interest in learning about Lincoln Cent varieties .. The questions you are asking in this thread IMHO have been addressed multiple times in this sub-forum ... do a search ... and, if answered in this thread, tend to distract the thread focus from the OP original line of inquiry. Politely suggest that you should start your own thread in this sub-forum with those same questions ... which our experts will likely readily respond to. David |

I guess it depends how much its worth if I would sell it. If it was worth $50 I would keep it...if it is worth hundreds I might sell or trade. I am trying to finish my MS Lincoln Set...I am getting down to the 1920's-30's so its getting expensive. lol
Anyone have a idea on value? Might be hard to put a value on it as there really isn't anything comparable to go off of.

It is a one of a kind with two major errors. If I owned it, and was inclined to sell, I would ask for more than I would take- just to see how it goes. |

Well, I asked $750 for mine and got every penny of it within a couple months of it being offered on my web site. Your coin is more O/C but it does not show the Wide AM. Still, it is attributable as being struck with a Proof Style Die so I'd still think you are in the hundreds of dollars. If you start high, you can always come down. As for grading/certification, I didn't bother and it made no difference. |

I have never sent in a coin to get attributed. What is the best way about doing this? Should I buy a membership to PCGS and use the free graded coins or what are my other options. I think I have three coins I want to send in. One is the coin from this thread I want to get attributed for being off-center and wrong reverse...the other two coins I just want graded. I now it costs more to get errors/varieties attributed than a regular grading. I have been to their website and it didn't make much sense to me. lol Any help is appreciated.

You do not need to get a membership with PCGS in order to submit, an alternative method is to submit through a PCGS authorized dealer. If you live in an urban area, their likely is a PCGS authorized dealer who can submit them on your behalf. If you want to submit them on your own you need to join their "Collector's club". I usually wait until I have 8 coins I want to get graded and then go with platinum membership as it has the lowest cost per coin graded for the initial submission. See here https://www.pcgs.com/store/memberships.aspx You also need to pay an "attribution fee" in order to get the off center designated as a WAM and as an off center, thats $18. You need to pay return shipping and insurance which varies based on your estimated value of the coins, and I believe on top of all that they now charge a $10 per order handling fee as well. |

In terms of value, may I ask you Jayman931 what the winning bid for this coin was?

I paid the going rate for a off-center coin. :)

How much did you pay for it?
I'm sure it could yield $1,000 to the right person.
