Believe7 Pillar of the Community United States 701 Posts	Posted 09/12/2020 2:00 pm Good Day. I have been debating weather I should sent this coin out for grading. The spot on the reverse discourages me, but after seeing a few spotty graded ones, I have decided to ask the pros. Thanks CC. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/12/2020 2:29 pm What does the edge look like? If genuine it would need to grade at least MS 66 and I don't think it makes a 66. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19241 Posts	Posted 09/12/2020 3:05 pm If nothing else, it would look great in a high(er) grade Dansco album--provided the coin isn't a 'good quality' re-plating. How about posting a couple photos with subdued or filtered lighting? Edited by ijn1944 09/12/2020 3:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19972 Posts	Posted 09/12/2020 3:39 pm Too much light, hard to grade. In general, it's cheaper to buy a slabbed 1943 than to have one slabbed. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18712 Posts	Posted 09/13/2020 10:52 am its a keeper. nicely struck with good luster. too much overhead lighting so some of the surfaces are washed out but I think it might make MS66. you need to come in at MS67 to be worth sending in and I dont see it at that level Report this Post to the Staff
okiepb Pillar of the Community United States 1213 Posts	Posted 09/13/2020 11:41 am I agree with not sending it in. There are shipping, insurance, handling, etc fees involved in that. If you want an MS66 cent, buy one. Report this Post to the Staff
Believe7 Pillar of the Community United States 701 Posts	Posted 09/14/2020 09:46 am @panzalsi @okiepb....the only reason I dont see it as a 66, is because of the one I spotted on ebay as a 66, pretty worn. (image above). Report this Post to the Staff
