Picker New Member Canada 1 Posts	Posted 03/13/2023 09:58 am I found this 1928 penny, it looks like it's it good shape, should I get it professionally graded? Would it be worth the cost? Report this Post to the Staff

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5594 Posts	Posted 03/13/2023 10:34 am No, don't send it to a TPG. Using Trends prices, you would be paying 10 times the cost of what the coin will ever be worth. To justify a TPG cert, you really need to have the coin worth (ability to sell) over $100, maybe $150-$200 if the coin isn't at least a 60. Yours is far short of that. I think that your coin, from the distant photo, to be VF-30 - XF-40 and worth probably less than $5 Edited by okiecoiner 03/13/2023 11:32 am Report this Post to the Staff

The pictures are pretty small but at a glance it looks like it's probably EF-AU. That puts the value somewhere likely well under $10. Enjoy it and maybe throw it in a 2x2. :) Report this Post to the Staff
Levaril Valued Member Canada 289 Posts	Posted 03/13/2023 10:38 am Oh and for future reference, crop back the pictures to just the coin so you can make them larger and easier to grade. All that background is just taking up extra screen space to no benefit. Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9873 Posts	Posted 03/13/2023 12:03 pm A nice find, and a cool keeper for sure, but the cost of grading would be multiple times the value of the coin. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
