Hello,
I posted some pics of two 1932 cents and noticed one is really red to the other 5 I have in 1932. My question is would this be considered a red cent? and would it be worth getting graded by the condition it is in? I'm not very good at grading (Pennies)cents. Your opinions would be appreciated!
Thank you

Assuming you mean "Red" in the sense of bright uncirculated, then I would not think this is red.

In my opinion is it not red. Red would need most of the remaining luster (IMO 90% or more. Not sure how to quantify that but it'd have to be mostly shiny lol).
As for grading, based on the pictures, its in the low AU range. Maybe even EF45. Not worth sending in a piece like this.

This is from my dad's collection and out of the 6 1932 cents he had this one is really red compared to the other 5 he had in 1932. I couldn't get a decent pic of the color but it's a lot more red then what the pic is showing. But I think your right on the grade itself wouldn't be worth getting it graded. Thanks for your opinions much appreciated  |

At best, EF-40 not really worth it to get graded.

John1..I'm not sure if PCGS photograde has grading photos of Cananian coins?
I thought it only showed U.S. coins.

Thank goodness they don't have grading photos of Canadian coins, PCGS sucks when it comes to grading circulated Canadian coins.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

I think John1 just meant it would be handy to see the difference between circulated and red uncirculated cents in general. A Canadian PCGS grading guide would certainly be interesting though  |
