alzika New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 02/10/2008 03:11 am I came across 2 rolls of 1959 uncirculated Lincoln pennies today. They ALL look very nice and shiny. How do I determine which of these, if any, that I should submit to be graded? Anyone have pictures with examples of what to look for? Report this Post to the Staff

Look for wear on the hair, cheek, chin and shoulder. Check the steps on the memorial, Lincoln on his thrown--oops I mean chair. Obviously pick the one/ones with the least scrathes and/or blemishs. Be sure to send to a respectable company and wear gloves whenever handling the coin, even if you are just touching the edge. There might be someother things to look into, but someone else will have to pipe in for that--these are just what I look for in a Lincoln. Good luck and post some pics of your favs over in the Practice Grading Forum before you send them out...will be fun to see how they turn out --Gary Report this Post to the Staff

alzika New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 02/14/2008 12:37 am How would I determine a MS67? The coins look great. A lot of them have a single scratch or blemish, but I found 2-3 that look flawless. Report this Post to the Staff
1sikevo Pillar of the Community United States 1130 Posts	Posted 02/14/2008 01:04 am BU roll of 1959 Lincoln Cent has Greysheet of $1.10 bid, $1.20 ask. What's the deal about slabbing them ? You're going to spend $15, plus shipping to slab each coin. The avarage coin you will find in that roll is MS62, the nicer ones maybe MS64. Those are worth a few cents each. You may find an MS67 once in a hundred rolls if you're lucky. Report this Post to the Staff
cladking Pillar of the Community United States 2270 Posts	Posted 02/14/2008 01:25 am Rolls are overpriced but high grade coins might not be. This date comes very nice so you'll need nice clean coins that are well struck from good dies. If you think they're that nice it might be worth submitting them. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.
