I have four 1974 and two 1975 Lincoln Cent rolls from many years ago I have broken open one of the 1974 rolls but I am not sure how to tell if any of the coins might graded above MS-65. I am attaching pictures of four random coins from the opened roll can anyone help me to find out how to check them out without sending all of them in for grading. Coin #1   Coin #2   Coin #3   Coin #4   |

#2 coin looks like the only one that might be MS-65RD.

But definitely not worth sending in. MS66 are going for around 30$ on ebay, |

Not seeing any thing so far even close to meriting grading.  to the CCF! |

Given the sampling posted, I would not suggest sending any in for grading. It appears you're looking at lower end MS coins--MS61-64. They'd need to be in the MS66+ range, or preferably much better. The posted pics are showing coins with 'bag marks' (rubs/ticks/dings).

None of them are worth sending in to be graded.
Errers and Varietys.

GREAT pictures!  1974 large date variety, all of them look typical for an OBW roll, MS-63. To get the high grades the fields must be pristine. Edited by BadThad

A 65/66 level coin would look like this:   Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

Thank you all for that great information, I am happy to have asked instead of sending any in and wasting money.
Should I put the best ones in a holder or just leave them all stored in the penny roll?

Store them on a plastic cent sized coin tube, out of paper rolls.

they will be fine in a plastic roll
i agree, none are 65 or above
go to PCGS pricing site and they post MS66's and above there for comparison
1. MS63+
2. MS64
3. MS63
4. MS64

Coin #3 looks a tad bit off center. Might check the edge and diameter for anything out the ordinary. Thanks, Doug.
