Ozzy5150 Valued Member United States 117 Posts	Posted 05/24/2022 3:28 pm Thanks, you won't hurt my feelings. I need to take better pics. I compared it to PCGS photos of graded coins and both coins I posted seem to be comparable to ms+ coins. I can tell I'm getting way too much "HD" detail in the pictures that really misrepresents the coin. I'll ask for advice and try again. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/24/2022 3:59 pm At best MS-61, but more likely high AU. Fields and bust are badly nicked. Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19948 Posts	Posted 05/24/2022 6:32 pm Lots of wear on the high point and the various nicks and hit clearly indicate it's been circulated. Yes, these are difficult to find in the super high grades (66 up). AU-50 Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18662 Posts	Posted 05/25/2022 09:50 am Ozzy, just for future reference memorials, with just a few exceptions, need to be in the MS66+ or higher grade to have any value and MS67 and above to be worth slabbing. I suggest comparing your coins to grades below and look closely as what a 66 or 67 coin looks like. specifically the surfaces and the amount of marks on the coin. this will help you weed out any coins that dont have any real value as you search for the good ones Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 05/27/2022 01:45 am I can't go higher than EF-45 on this one. Looks like it went through a few hundred wash and dry laundry cycles. Edited by fenton 05/27/2022 01:45 am Report this Post to the Staff
