If you post better (clearer) pictures in the grading section someone will probably give you an approximate value, or you could ask a mod to move this post, but you'll need better pictures either way. Pennies aren't my cup of tea but that one looks pretty nice.

to CCF fellow Michigander. We need a front and back photo in focus and properly rotated. It will need to grade at least MS67 to justify all costs involved in having it slabbed.I do not think your coin will grade that high.http://www.numismedia.com/rarecoinp...proof=&plus=

Anywhere between 1 cent and $90.00 based on the photos and recent sales

Buy a Red Book. It will give basic grading directions and prices.

You can also try PCGS websight for better grading instructions and pics, with more current pricing.

Please understand that's a terrible photo and nobody will be able to give you a guess at grade from it. NOTHING on the coin is in focus.

At least it's better than a "potato photo" where we can't even be sure it's a coin and not a potato. We can tell it's a 1974 Cent.

That gives us enough data to tell you it would need to grade MS67 to even be remotely worth having graded. That means only one or two tiny dings on the field, crisp clean bust, etc.

By now you know that your photos are not good enough to properly guess at a grade.
