Is My 1969 D Lincoln Cent Worth Sending In For Grading

Doubt it's worth grading, but sharper pics would help.



to the CCF!

A coin needs a minimum retail value of $100 after slabbing to justify all costs involved in sending it in.

Welcome to CC!

The pictures are not clear enough for grading except to say it looks mint state. To be worth slabbing it'd have to hit MS-67. That's a nearly impossible grade to get from PCGS for a 60's cent.

To CCF! Nope, not worth grading at all. Save your time and money.

you can go through 1000's of Unc cents in bank rolls to find a possible 67 grade

please take sending any coin you find in circulation off the table regarding sending it in. the costs are way to high. today folks see ads talking about finding these expensive coins in circulation. are their some errors that can be found? yes but you have to know exactly what they are to find them and be willing to spend hours upon hours looking through coins. most new folks have no idea what it costs so here is what they charge. I hope this helps

fist, there are only two 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 $23, shipping & ins both ways (1-4 coins is $27 if the total value is under $1000)

NGC - economy grading tier is $22, 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.

CAC - $99 subscription ($50 grading credit), economy grading $15, gold $28, $40 shipping/handling/ins
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
