twodiced13 New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 05/15/2013 2:40 pm Hello all. I was just impressed by the quality of this 1964. I know there not worth but I was still impressed after sorting through 16 dollars worth of cents. What do you think? Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18681 Posts	Posted 05/15/2013 5:33 pm badthad...I'm confused. how can a coin that came out of circulation be uncirculated? Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19963 Posts	Posted 05/16/2013 11:18 am I've pulled thousands of mint state coins out of circulation. Just because it was tossed around with other coins doesn't mean it will have wear. The mint just produces coins and puts them in a bag. Those bags are shipped all over the place and usually end up getting rolled. Does that mean they are no long mint state? It's all about the level of wear and not the journey. Lincoln Cent Lover!

twodiced13 New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 05/16/2013 1:39 pm Thank you bad Thad for rating this coin. Would you perchance know the value of the coin? I am working on getting more mint state cents. I need to buy that book that shows you the different grades of coins. Report this Post to the Staff
drdave Pillar of the Community United States 721 Posts	Posted 05/16/2013 5:40 pm Worth $4.80 according to numismedia.com for a 1964-D MS65RB. If it was brown it would be worth half that. BadThad has been grading these for years, but I would have graded it lower. Hard to tell with the pictures you provided. The reverse looks brown to me. Report this Post to the Staff
twodiced13 New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 05/17/2013 12:47 am Thank you doctor. Also believe the cent is off alignment. The cent in person is a bright shiny copper with a good luster. I will try to post better pics. Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad, this newbie thanks you for your reply. You just answered a nagging question I had for a while. I was under the impression that an MS and higher grade can ONLY be applied to an uncirculated coin... that is, a coin that just came out of the roll and has never seen the outside at all. Now I know better, thanks again! Report this Post to the Staff
