Monte1989 New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 06/12/2025 01:35 am I stumbled upon this 1955-S Lincoln Wheat penny and noticed it's in pretty decent condition. Upon looking further, I noticed some cracks on it, would this be considered die cracks? I'm still fairly new about learning about coins and errors. Worth sending in to get graded and checked out? Thanks for the feedback on this coin community. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74196 Posts	Posted 06/12/2025 01:43 am I see a possible Pre-Cud, Die Chips, and a Die Crack. Quote: Worth sending in to get graded and checked out? Nope. Only worth a few dollars in the condition it's in. The U.S. mint minted a ton of these and finding high grade examples isn't hard. It's a nice Wheat cent, but not worth grading. The fees would exceed the value of this coin. Still a nice find though. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21610 Posts	Posted 06/12/2025 07:14 am Nice looking 55 cent but terminology correction, cracks are not considered an error. Also as previously stated, certainly not worth spending $55-60.00 on getting it graded. Report this Post to the Staff
