It's essential to have it in the title. * Hi everyone I found a pretty nice penny going thru some pocket/ashtray change, but the fact that it seems to be a pretty much regular 1968 s penny, thats been in circulation, would something like this be even worth grading in the first place or pretty much a waste of time? Like I said I've never had a coin graded, so trying to get an idea of what would even be worth my time. I don't think there's any type of errors on the coin. I can load more pics of the coin but is it even worth my time loading them? I would really appreciate anyone's opinion. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24980 Posts	Posted 12/01/2024 02:46 am to the CCF, edeeze510! Your coin in not worth the expense of grading. It would be a nice hole filler until a better one comes along. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 12/01/2024 04:07 am I don't want to place a value on your coin, but I do believe it's less than the costs associated with getting it graded. It's a nice looking coin. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024 Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15394 Posts	Posted 12/01/2024 06:42 am to the CCF Sending that coin to a top tier grading company will cost you ~$40, plus membership fees. It's likely worth less than $1. Does that math work for you? Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

edeeze510 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 12/01/2024 4:14 pm Thanks for everyone's response! Like I said I've never had a coin graded and there so many videos on YouTube making it seem so easy to find a rare coin... lol! I'll be watching and be hella confused that someone would send some regular circulated beat up coin with high mintage to be graded? Also some coins I see on ebay and what some sell for is crazy!
