1952 D Rainbow Wheat Penny

Agree, mid-AU. Most attractive but little premium over face value.



to the CCF!

Keep till a better one comes along.

nice find in circulation. i'd call it AU53 or 55. value maybe .10

a couple points to keep in mind

finding a coin in circulation that warrants grading is nil. there are some varieties on coins out there however you have to know exactly what you are looking for and spend hours upon hours looking at coins to find one. if you have a question or concern about a coin, just post it here. we will let you know.

most new folks have no idea the cost of grading a coin. hopefully this will help, your coin would have to grade MS67RD or better to warrant it.

there are really only 2 reasons to slab a coin

1. its a rare coin that needs authenticated and preserved
2. you are planning on selling the coin and the cost of acquisition plus the grading fee's would warrant it without chewing up all your profit

PCGS charges a minimum of $69 for a subscription other subscription levels include grading vouchers though so you could reduce these costs. add to the subscription cost, per coin grading cost which I think for this one might be $22, shipping & ins both ways (1-4 coins is $27 if the total value is under $1000)

NGC - economy grading tier is $23, plus $10 handling fee, plus $28 for shipping (1-5 coins).

ANACS grading would be $16 but there's a 5 coin minimum. Shipping would be $29-35.

i don't slab coins for these reasons especially the cost involved. I don't know why this is so popular today. just making the grading companies wealthy

Tiny pictures, hard to tell much. AU-63
