Dowhat Pillar of the Community United States 876 Posts	Posted 03/04/2023 09:59 am I have 2 uncirculated rolls of these. If the images are gradable I would like some opinions as to how this one might grade to use as a baseline searching the rest. A brief explanation of your conclusion may help me finding something better. Thanks . Report this Post to the Staff

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36741 Posts	Posted 03/04/2023 10:46 am Without the reverse rim nic I would have been MS-67RD. With the rim nic this one is probably MS-65+RD. Report this Post to the Staff
Dowhat Pillar of the Community United States 876 Posts	Posted 03/04/2023 11:35 am Thanks for the feedback. But now I am more confused than ever. One response determines non gradable and a second sees MS-67 without mentioned reverse rim nick. That is quite a gap for me to form a base line on 99 more to browse. However, I will give it my best shot and hopefully provide better images for any further consideration. The reverse image provi## was not a clear representation of this example and I should have worked on it a bit more. Report this Post to the Staff
captainkurt Pillar of the Community United States 1406 Posts	Posted 03/04/2023 6:40 pm Most of these are going to have the spotting issue. The rim Nick is drastic. Without that rim Nick it would not grade ms67 in my opinion. The photos are not showing the surfaces well enough to determine a ms67. The spots alone are distracting enough to bring this to ms65. Out of 100 coins you will be lucky to get a couple ms65's. Out of 1000 you may get a ms66. ms67, well that's just luck and odds go up from here. I would just assume all are choice grade or lower. Pick out your best one and post it. An ms66 will stand out from the rest. I have been looking at coins for two decades and only found a few (like I can count on my hands few) coins that I believe are gem quality. Most of my gems were found in mint sets not rolls. I'm not a roll searcher but I think the above odds are not too far off. Edited by captainkurt 03/04/2023 6:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dowhat Pillar of the Community United States 876 Posts	Posted 03/14/2023 5:42 pm I weeded the 100 down to this one. Unable to get the lighting right, I am showing the example from different lighting angles which I hope may help. Report this Post to the Staff

dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 03/14/2023 7:05 pm You have rolls of what appear to be unopened, BU, bank rolls. You may be able to find some Mint errors but, not much else. The mintage of that Lincoln Cent was over 350 million. They aren't rare or valuable. Although there's always a small chance of finding something good. That said, the majority may be in the MS condition with a slim market for them. If you could put together encased sets of all of the 4 coins in P and D you might be able to sell them for $10.00/set. Otherwise, I would just keep them rolled and store away for your future and take a long look at them at a later time. Edited by dsking 03/14/2023 7:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff
captainkurt Pillar of the Community United States 1406 Posts	Posted 03/14/2023 7:34 pm Got a few issues with this one but I think you still have a choice graded example. Of course you have the spotting issue which seems to be a chronic problem. There is something near the hair line I can't make out which only shows up in the last obverse photo. There are some bad hits on the lapel. I kinda like the first one you posted better Edited by captainkurt 03/14/2023 7:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dowhat Pillar of the Community United States 876 Posts	Posted 03/15/2023 07:00 am Thanks to all for having a look and offering your opinions. I'll use this one to replace the one in my album. Now to start the search for the 60+ listings for those class 9 reverse errors. Could take a bit of time as they are all so subtle. All the no finds I'll stash in tubes. Hope to find at least a couple DDR's. Thanks again. Report this Post to the Staff
dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 03/15/2023 2:25 pm I have tubes of cents from 1909 to the present. It's a fun way to collect and sometimes takes a while for current years! Enjoy them! Report this Post to the Staff
