callis74 Valued Member United States 58 Posts	Posted 06/30/2019 5:00 pm I was wondering if this penny is worth having it graded? I saw that it could have some potential value. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/30/2019 6:25 pm Could you give us a larger pic of the obverse, please. The color here looks unnatural but I'd like to see the high points more closely. Is it this orange in hand? Report this Post to the Staff

CoinsKelly Pillar of the Community United States 3453 Posts	Posted 06/30/2019 6:49 pm These pictures do make it look unnatural. If it were me, I would get it graded unless it was one of the varieties for 1889 Report this Post to the Staff
callis74 Valued Member United States 58 Posts	Posted 06/30/2019 8:40 pm Thanks for the info CoinsKelly. What do you mean when you say varieties? Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 07/01/2019 12:47 pm I wouldn't bother with that for grading. Cost to get it graded is not worth it. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinsKelly Pillar of the Community United States 3453 Posts	Posted 07/02/2019 12:17 am I meant to say I would NOT get it graded unless is it as possibly a variety on demand . I think that year may have some varieties (I.e. doubled die or repunched date. My focus is on a different series so I can't tell you for certain the 1889 Varieties would bring a premium even if the coin is a details grade. There is plenty on the web that should help you figure out if you have one. Even if you don't, you will learn a lot doing the research. Report this Post to the Staff
