KTCoin New Member United States 32 Posts	Posted 02/25/2021 6:00 pm Hello - I found this 1967 penny while coin roll hunting. It has a VERY shiny field and is in very good condition for its age. Although, I'm reading that there were no proofs made in this year. Thoughts on this one? Thank You!! Report this Post to the Staff

Scuba1 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 02/25/2021 8:11 pm I will side with T-BOP in that the 1967 is a business strike. And the 1968 S is definitely a business strike as there were not any SMS in 1968 that I am aware of. As far as grading goes, as nice as they may seem, I see too many flaws on both of your coins in the way of dings and dents in the focal areas. In my opinion it would not benefit you to have these graded. It would cost more than what they are worth. Hate to be a "downer" but I'd hate it more if you spent the money for grading only to realize your cost exceeded the value of the coins. I'm no expert, just my Two Cents worth (no pun intended......lol). WELCOME TO THE FORUM!!! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/25/2021 8:45 pm They are little extra value, to spend big money to have them graded. Sometimes as much a $50 per coin. So you need to make sure they are Worth in the $150 range, to put out that kind of money. Sure some coins are a nice value for a high grade coin, but the prices drop a lot on some coins.
