I would love to find/identify a true MS penny so I get the hang of what to look for. I may even break down and buy a graded one. Thoughts about this one? Still not the best lighting. * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. It's very important to have in the title. * Report this Post to the Staff

"Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 07/17/2023 6:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94795 Posts	Posted 07/17/2023 8:02 pm right, then when a coin won't or can't make the grade of MS the next grade down from there is AU (Almost Uncirculated) Collecting since 1972.

MajorPatW Valued Member United States 100 Posts	Posted 07/17/2023 8:45 pm Thank you all. I recently AU was under MS, but I wasn't clear on the whole uncirculated thing. I thought perhaps it actually mean "uncirculated", like the mint did them special or something. Nice to see the terms. Report this Post to the Staff
