Kloccwork419 Pillar of the Community United States 1359 Posts	Posted 02/15/2021 5:35 pm Sorry but this is nowhere close to MS68. That would grade AU, not even MS Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19183 Posts	Posted 02/15/2021 5:37 pm With the photos, I'm seeing a lightly circulated '77 D cent--some very light wear on obverse high points, a few light dings/hits on obverse and reverse. Nice coin. At this point I'd go with low(er) MS range, perhaps MS62+. More info: https://www.PCGS.com/coinfacts/coin...d-1c-rd/2987 Edited by ijn1944 02/15/2021 5:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/15/2021 5:41 pm Sorry, but no where near MS68 or red for that matter. Mid AU at best and red/brown. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15463 Posts	Posted 02/15/2021 5:43 pm This is not an MS coin and the best I would go is AU55. Your view of MS68 is not possible and you would be throwing money out the window to attempt certification. It's worth face value - 1 cent - albeit an attractive roll found example from many years ago. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

Snobro110 Valued Member United States 137 Posts	Posted 02/15/2021 9:22 pm I'd say around low MS to high AU. Report this Post to the Staff
Diy89Nurm7 Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 02/16/2021 12:03 am Looking AU RB to me, too. You might want to go back to PhotoGrade in PCGS and see how smooth the field is (no nicks) and how little wear is on the coin high points. Keep trying and learning! Stay well, Diy89Nurm7 Report this Post to the Staff

mcshilling Pillar of the Community Canada 9163 Posts	Posted 02/17/2021 7:18 pm It's an AU58 Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 02/17/2021 7:29 pm I'm at AU-58 as well, but that's just a hunch. OP would get more worthwhile replies if he would learn to crop, enlarge and focus his pics with light on the surfaces. Report this Post to the Staff
Adam C Vance Valued Member United States 82 Posts	Posted 02/17/2021 8:26 pm It would be easer for me to look at and grade coine if I had a coine micro scoupe I'm using a crossman air guns 4x15 zoom scotch taped to my phone its the best I hot as of this moment till I have the chance to go donate plazma Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/18/2021 04:13 am You don't really need a magnifier more than 10x for grading. You can buy a clip on magnifier from Walmart or ebay real cheap. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
