Adam C Vance Valued Member United States 82 Posts	Posted 06/16/2021 07:32 am I'm studying coin grading I just started with In the hour I have my 1943 steel Wheat penny I'm trying to grade it still has good high points the wheat stocks are quite visible and Lincoln's jawl and cheek bone are pronounced so is his hair lines..... I don't thank it's MS it has been circulated but not for very long it has no rust spots its Zink coating is still all there my best guess as of right now is around AU-50ish to XF-45...... I made my own coin sleeve so a pick was a little hard with lighting angels but I did my best..... What do y'all thank it's grade is Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/16/2021 07:37 am 1st,make sure to flatten those staples.2nd,always remove coins from 2x2 holder before taking photos.3rd,research here https://www.PCGS.com/photograde/ 4th,a few too many photos.4 pics per post to start with,full coin obverse full coin reverse and one or two close ups where and when needed.If we need more pics we will ask for them.

Adam C Vance Valued Member United States 82 Posts	Posted 06/16/2021 08:05 am I used PCGS as a coin grading reference that's where I got the idea of XF-45 to AU-50 if need be I can remove the coin from it's sleeve and take the proper pictures so it's better seen just ask and I shall do so if y'all can grade it with what you see that's also great.... I appreciate the tips John1 thanks I shall use these tips when I'm posting my next coin to be graded Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/16/2021 11:47 am I am not great at grading, that said 40-45 but lacks eye appeal. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
