1946 S Penny.worth Anything?

This is a common Wheat cent with some rim dings, worth less than a nickel I'm guessing.

You asked if it's "worth getting cleaned/certified," which worries me. NEVER EVER E-V-E-R clean a coin. There are some very small exceptions like soaking in 100% pure acetone, but that's about it.

I agree with SamCoin, NEVER clean your coins, NEVER. Worth having it graded? Unless this coin has some sentimental meaning to you, the answer is no, not worth the cost of grading fees. Check ebay's SOLD listings and you can probably find a graded 1946-S in better condition for only a few bucks. Do your homework.

This is my homework, this is how I am learning. I hear things from people and read a lot of different things online so I never know what to believe. Plus the coin guy out here by me is a little off his rocker so this is why I come to you guys

@merclover - thank you for that response. I appreciate that. Most of the time I don't know the right question to ask. I have been learning to stay away from YouTube and all that crap because it only steered me wrong in so many of my beginning posts. I honestly do go onto this site and search things, read a lot of different posts and click on the links provided. My problem is what I'm seeing on pictures/examples/links they add is what I have....until I post it and it's like "ur crazy there is nothing here do your homework". I really do want to learn but it's pretty hard when your just getting stomped on constantly by rude people....sorry to vent for a second but thank you. I really am trying. I literally have pages and pages and pages of notes hahaha

@AshleyG - there's definitely a learning curve to climb up when you're new to this hobby, and I've found people are very willing to help new collectors on this forum.
Just a couple of suggestions - if you haven't already, pick up "A Guide Book of United States coins", also known as the Red Book. It's a good resource for a lot of basic information on all U.S. coins, including mintages and (very rough) retail valuations. The prices aren't really accurate, but will give you a relative value of a particular coin. I've been using this book for over 50 years, and I still keep one handy on my desk.
To get a start on learning to grade, I'd recommend something like https://www.PCGS.com/photograde to get the basics of grading. Nice photos of every type of U.S. coin, so it can be fairly useful as a starting point.
And while I'm fairly new to this forum, I've found that searching previous posts can also be very enlightening when trying to find either general information or something about a specific coin.
Try not to get frustrated - this is a wonderful, rewarding hobby, and the more you learn the more you'll appreciate it!
