Cairo1228 New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 01/09/2022 11:13 pm Hello, While this isn't my first post, I am somewhat new to coin collecting. I purchased a 1971 S proof set online and I believe I may have some minor doubling ( DDO and DDR) on the PENNY and major doubling ( DDO and DDR) on the QUARTER (which I will post separately). Since this coin is still in the case, you can see some scratches on the plastic. Also, my microscope is not on the high end so these are the best pictures I could get. What I lack in quality, I tried to make up in quantity. :) I am wondering if it is worth the money to have the 1971 S proof penny graded. Thank you!

You have here about 50 too many photos! You lose readers if you have too many images, plus it's a waste of space. I am seeing a great deal of glare doubling. Try defusing your lighting source. Place a piece of white paper over your lighting source, or use daylight. Your coin would have to have a net value of about $150 to be "worth" having it graded. Check ebay's SOLD listings for similar coins for a rough idea as to value. Edited by merclover 01/10/2022 12:38 am Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 01/10/2022 01:13 am Yeah, way, way, way too many photos. The quality is just fine. Just post one full shot of each side of the coin as well as 1-3 images of specific areas of interest. I also am not at all convinced this is a doubled die. I see what looks like minor Machine Doubling, but nothing that screams doubled die to me or that matches any of the listings I see on Wexler's site. Can you tell us which variety you think it is? Certainly not worth grading as most companies will only attribute CPG listed varieties, which this is definitely not. Report this Post to the Staff

Your photos are not bad, but the glare is a problem. You need to filter your light source. http://varietyvista.com/ http://www.coppercoins.com/advsearch.php http://doubleddie.com/ John1 Report this Post to the Staff

If it were a PR-69 Here is the value: https://www.PCGS.com/cert/83787127 If it were a PR-68 Here is the value: https://www.PCGS.com/cert/25097227 Chances are slim that is is a cameo or Dcam. So to spend $50 to have it graded would exceed the value of the coin? It up to you. (I wouldn't do though) Report this Post to the Staff
