TedError Valued Member United States 242 Posts	Posted 04/27/2023 3:35 pm It's a rainy day so took a bunch of pennies and tried to lay the colors out. Fun little project. I've heard color can make a difference in the value of coin. Four photos below. Hopefully they're good enough to see the coins. Most coins are not in great shape but I am thinking about picking out some and get them graded. Please let me know which ones you like if any. Rows and columns are labeled. Thanks.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/27/2023 3:40 pm A coin needs a retail value of at least $150 after slabbing to justify all costs involved in sending it in. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25163 Posts	Posted 04/27/2023 4:14 pm Nice palette of colors, TedError! But as John1 implied, none of these appear to worth the cost of slabbing. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

TedError Valued Member United States 242 Posts	Posted 04/27/2023 4:44 pm Certainly don't need to go down the graded path as noted. Wasn't planning on making any money on these. Just turned out to be a fun project since I have only been looking at coins for the last few months. I'll probably just pick some and put in some clear cases. I personally like D2, H3, D4, D5, I4, A5, B6, J6, F8 and F9. Report this Post to the Staff
