1960 D Lincoln Memorial Penny Help

Appears to be a modestly circulated '60 D, with environmental staining on the reverse. Not, in my opinion, a good candidate for grading submission.

Toss it in your copper penny stash.

CRR44. I'm going to call that you are fairly new to coin collecting. many newbies look at a coin in circulation thats a little shiny and think the coin has value.

just a couple tips to add to your knowledge base

you have a better chance of winning the lottery than you will finding a coin in circulation that has enough value to have graded

most seasoned collectors do not slab their coins unless of the following is true

1. its a rarer coin and requires authentication and preservation
2. the coin has a value of at least $150 and you are planning on selling it.

heres why:

you could expect to spend a minimum of $18 (economy grading) plus shipping/insurance per coin each way plus a subscription to a grading service. For instance PCGS charges a minimum of $69 for a subscription other subscription levels include grading vouchers though so you could reduce these costs. As you can see it really is not worth grading any average coin.

the good news is that you were smart enough to post the coin here and ask for an assessment of it prior to wasting your $$

your coin has a value of 1 cent. even though its a higher grade. probably AU the coin has been damaged with the reverse staining

hope that helps
