 to the Forum. I think there was some grease in some of the voids in the die that struck your coin. Not uncommon. |

A Struck Through Grease coin that shows no sign of missing devices adds interest, location is important. This is my Avatar.  |

The winner could be the next one you look at.

I've never seen a "struck through" on an '09 cent. Might be a minor premium to someone who collects coins minted in '09.  |

No question about it, Dustin.  Rjz, if there's a VDB on the reverse this one's a winner. |

The rims will often be strong even on a struck through.  On your coin they are strong, and the areas affected are weak. Depending on the amount of grease they can be common to real strong like the one I posted. So the more blockage there is, the more interest is shown for these. |

Thanks again to all of you for your comments. Could it be that it is a 09 s v.d.b. That just had grease marks on the S and the V.DB.? I know, just kidding.
If it is unusual/rare? Then maybe a market for it? Yes, I am looking at money.....
Better to have it graded/authenticated?

Actually I don't think this one sparks much interest.

Ok, good to know. Not wanting to downgrade the hobby, was just wondering value. I got a number of pennies from my dad from about 1950 to 85 that are in very good condition. Matched to PCGS pics they would look to be 66 and 67 condition. Just wondering steps to take. Do I get them certified/rated?

Riz, there are guides to values of coins. They are all over the internet, and various publications. I like Red Book. Even though it only comes out once a year, the prices don't change that much. Keep in mind, they are all "guides". The true value of any coin is set by the owner. I say that because he can put a price on it and it either sells or he "buys" it himself. ebay is a good way to sell coins. James Wiles has a selling site also. Coins have value as varieties, errors, and rarities, (low mintages). Condition of a coin is an important determining factor in it's value also. It sounds like your pennies are in nice condition. I would recommend looking at them closely for anything unusual and post them here. That way you can learn about them. When you learn, you can pick $25 pennies out of pocket change probably a lot more often than you think. Who knows, you may even decide to collect some of them for yourself. The value of coins goes up over time. Here is a link you may want to put in your favorites to help with grading coins. http://coins.ha.com/tutorial/coin-grading.sP.S. certification is best for coins valued at least $50 and higher Edited by CoinMasters
