Oldephriam Valued Member United States 424 Posts	Posted 03/20/2016 7:55 pm I have always been the type of collector that has chosen the best coin that I could afford. Now that I am older this is usually coins in MS-63 or higher grade. I have been photographing my collection, right now I am working on the Lincoln Wheat Cents that I inherited from my father. I have heard about lowball coins, it took me a while to figure this out. Now my question is this; is this considered a lowball coin? If so then I have several that are in similar condition. Also it looks like I will be upgrading my LWC collection as soon as I can. Report this Post to the Staff

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 03/20/2016 8:11 pm Your Lincoln is extremely worn but I believe the date must be readable for a lowball designation . I don't see 1914 on this . all I see is 19 . Report this Post to the Staff
Oldephriam Valued Member United States 424 Posts	Posted 03/20/2016 8:45 pm In hand the date is slightly more readable. This photo is a result of my lowball skills and lower quality equipment. Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 03/21/2016 11:15 am It might low ball, but there are so many early date Lincoln's available in low ball with a much smaller number of low ball collectors that there value is quite low. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/21/2016 4:44 pm Agree. Lowballs are common among nickel and small copper coins; their value is very small. The most interesting lowballs are usually the larger silver coins. Report this Post to the Staff
