I'd say somewhere between AU-58 and MS-63. Definitely not worth submitting.  |

I agree. Seems like no one reads my posts about the minimum retail value a coin needs to be before it is worth sending in  John1  |

Unless you think that Lincoln is worth at least $150.00,
then it's not worth getting slabbed.

A Caveat... how is the lighting on my photos?

While that one isn't worth slabbing the $150 number that keeps getting repeated over and over is completely arbitrary and many coins are worth grading below that value

Just a touch of wear...but an AWESOME find in change! Sadly, it probably got dumped recently and was a good 63-64 before some fool put into circulation.

Oh, pictures are good and lighting near perfect. It's VERY easy for me to grade with pictures like this, I can tell a lot about the coin. A white background would make a huge difference - it's what should always be used with coins.

It's worth spending many hours on the PCGS website IMO - you'll learn a ton about grading by studying their examples and looking through the coins sold at auction....ha.com being the best. Browse down to the year you want and click on the number on the left to expand the view. https://www.PCGS.com/prices/detail/.../most-active |

That's a nice looking Wheat cent change find . Just not a candidate for grading . @ john1 , maybe you should try a different tactic to get through to our new members .  |

when you find a LWC in AU in circulation today its a fairly uncommon event regardless of what its value is. |
