How much can you get ungraded ?
Undoubtedly there are many hundreds of thousands
or even millions just like yours . Very common issue .
I just looked in my inventory , there are 3 OBW sitting there !
Even with the rather soft out of focus pix , no better
than a 63 , 64 .
Not much value ..likely a dollar or less if you could find a buyer.

To CCF! I would suggest wearing gloves, while holding a coin. Fingerprints won't go away, unless soaked in pure acetone, while they're fresh. As for value, not too much. Maybe a dollar at most. We're going to need much better photos, to grade your coin accurately.

Common issue and most of them are MS-63 and lower. Much better pictures would be needed for us to photo grade your coin.

You're looking at two bucks, if it's MS-67.

These pieces are extremely common in high grades (65 & up). Realistically you're looking at $2 or $3 if it's a problem-free gem.

Do not worry about grading it. The right obverse field reveals there's no chance it'll grade MS67.

Your photos are way too blurry to offer a grade opinion, but I can see it is a Denver mint coin. I can't even tell the date by the fuzzy photos.

Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art

Jillions of these things were saved by the roll and by the bag during the coin roll craze of the 1950's and 1960's.

Wholesale buyers pay about 16 cents each for "common" uncirculated Wheaties. There is no shortage.

if you are using a phone to photograph these use the following guidelines to help get the best photos

1. turn off flash

2. place coin on flat surface with indirect natural light. maybe a window sill in a cloudy day. Use a black or white background to avoid any reflective color

3. move phone about 3in from coin

4. zoom in using your fingers until the coin comes into focus and fills the cameras view finder. if your phone has a portrait selection use that and then press and hold on the coin in the view finder to AF lock it

5. hold phone steady. if you can't then place something on either side of the coin (like books) at that distance and lay phone between them. this will hold it steady and allow you to zoom and take the photo without any blurring

Better image would be nice. I have 10 rolls of these stacked away somewhere (put in tubes in the 70's). I need to find them and take some pictures.
