Second, rather than use the poll functionality for this type of question, it is better to just ask your question and let us answer. My opinion is that this cent was struck more or less normally by the mint and is now severely damaged. It would not be worth it to get graded.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19176 Posts	Posted 12/02/2021 07:03 am Agree. Appears to be post-strike damage. I've seen a few of these--various eras of cents--over many years. A large and sharp image of the coin's obverse might be interesting to see. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21616 Posts	Posted 12/02/2021 10:21 am to the CCF Always show complete photos of both sides of the coin when making inquires. From what I can see from a small portion of your coin, it looks like it has been ground down. Lack of a rim indicates that. PMD If you gou it graded, it would cost you about $50.00 for a coin worth 1 cent Edited by JimmyD 12/02/2021 10:22 am Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 12/02/2021 4:23 pm No, not worth having it graded. The final value would be less than you paid for the grading service. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96674 Posts	Posted 12/02/2021 4:38 pm Definitely not worth anyone's time to grade an intentionally damaged/ground down coin. You will gain nothing in value on this coin and you will lose out on $50.00+ just to have it graded. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
