Well technically I got 19.99 for this penny, but shoot I never would have thought someone would buy a penny off me for that amount! I found this as an ender in a roll while searching, and was happy as all get out to fill my hole. But I saw the value of the coin and thought it would be better to have the money lol so I went on OfferUp market it for trade or best offer and my best offer came in as 20.00. Not bad at all :) got to show the circle k clerk why I come in everyday asking for penny rolls by doing the transaction right in front of him. :) super happy. Glad I got more than what it's worth cause I was only thinking I would get about 10 buck for it. But he said 20, and I said heck yeahhhh lol. But this was probably the nicest penny that I had in my collection other than the common 50s shiners that seem to be so widely available.   |

It's hard to tell from your pics, but it looks like a MS coin. I would have given you $25-35 for it.

The patina may be hiding some tiny nicks and scratches, but it looks pretty nice to me !  To determine if high AU, or to what extent into the MS range, it would help to examine it in hand under a 10X loupe , just as the TPGraders do. |

Sounds like both you and your buyer both did well and that's the best kind of deal. Glad you found that coin before it got circulated and all dinged up. |

Good buy for your buyer and a decent price for you. When you have enough posts you can offer your coins here too.
