panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18683 Posts	Posted 02/18/2021 11:11 am not worth grading unless its the 72 double die strike which it is not. the coin appears to be AU and has a value of 1 cent Report this Post to the Staff

Adam C Vance Valued Member United States 82 Posts	Posted 02/18/2021 12:22 pm I just notesed that the coine has a thinner rim on one side and thicker on the other is that any thing special or no Report this Post to the Staff
Rothery Pillar of the Community 2145 Posts	Posted 02/18/2021 12:44 pm Slightly MisAligned Die (MAD) - too slight to have any added value. From CCF Glossary: misaligned die An error that occurs when the two dies fall out of alignment and are not exactly parallel. Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 02/18/2021 12:49 pm Adam , your scope photos is washing out the rims on your coins . Time to consider a better method of photography . I'm thinking this 72 Lincoln would look pretty good in hand so I'm going to make a call of at least MS-62,63 . Do not send it in . Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/18/2021 1:10 pm As a general rule: A coin needs to have a retail value after slabbing of at least $150 to justify all costs involved in having it graded. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Diy89Nurm7 Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 02/18/2021 2:54 pm Good advice, John1. So odd you can occasionally find coins worth $0.01 that are TPG graded and slabbed. Maybe not worth buying if slabbed, too, if you have to pay a premium for the case and still have a $0.01 coin. Stay well, Diy89Nurm7 Report this Post to the Staff
