That is what I was leaning towards. Ultimately at the end of the day the goal is to have a problem free date set of large cents that are slabbed. That might be a long ways away however :p

I have the coin at AG3 with some pitting, rim ding, light scratch and nice color. I am at 50/50 for a details or straight grade. Getting the coin in a TPG holder is not going to add value to off set the grading fees. If you sell it in a detail holder, it would hurt the resale. It is a nice coin for someone doing a low end album. |

I am also working on a similar concept of a low grade, problem free date set. ANACS has been helpful for the few I've chosen to slab, I waited until they ran a promo that worked for me (it's been a while as they have been running an ASE deal since Nov, but I keep holding out hope for my recent early copper and Buffalo pickups.)

tough call on the 95 if it would grade straight. my first thought is no. there is large X across the reverse. the dig on the right field and left rim also need to be considered
i'd like to see the other two especially the 98.

Pics still too dark to evaluate.

A big help - these clearly suffer from environmental damage, and their identification by the experts will be interesting.

Should you send them in, expect ED and net grades, but paying the additional fee for getting die information/variety info may be well worth it -- there may be a diamond in the rough.

I couldn't see sending these in to be graded unless you're worried about their authenticity. Otherwise, these are great album fillers and I wouldn't mind having them in my collection. Good job getting these.

Try taking pictures farther away but zoom in 30% or so, in natural light from a window. Mess around and see where you get the best focus, then crop the best ones after. Moving the phone closer to fill the screen doesn't give good results in my experience.

the 2nd set of photos for the 96 and 98 have too much glare. I think the original photos are better to grade from.
the 96 could make G4 probably (details/ED)
the 98 looks like the second hair style and a corroded planchet which many of them were. this occurred prior to striking. the coin looks F15 details(ED) and is very close to VF

Thanks to everyone for the helpful comments. I actually sent away my '94 for grading last month and am curious to see what that comes back as. It has some pretty bad corrosion on the reverse but the obverse looks nice.

Corrosion on these early cents is rampant. Don't feel too bad, the rest of us have coins with it too.

It is really tough, and expensive, to get early large cents that are not corroded and have a natural, smooth surface.
Taking good pictures of dark large cents is very difficult. I haven't even figured out the trick myself.
