Long John Silver New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 06/30/2019 7:19 pm I found this coin in a BU Roll of 1954 S Cents. I'm trying to find out what I should do with it. Any help please? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/30/2019 7:52 pm No is the main anwser. Unless the coin is worth more than $100+, I would not send it in. These die chips are so common, they do not add any premium. The coin is in the Less than a dollar range. (Just because the coin is a nice coin) If it were a dark brown circulated coin, probably in the 3 cent range. I don't see a variety on the obverse that would warrant a premium from the images I'm seeing. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 79456 Posts	Posted 06/30/2019 9:34 pm To CCF! Die Chips are very common on the 1950's Lincoln Wheat Cents. And no, not worth getting it graded by a TPG. Save your money. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
