Obverse looks close to VG but the reverse is only Good so I'd guess G06. The old mark/scratch on the lower half of the reverse might net this one to G04 but it's still a valuable coin.
$180 would be a ballpark price.

Are there any others in the early series 1909 -1930 or so that are valueable in the good to fine conditions? I know the 1909 SVDB is of course but since I have them all at this point I was wondering which ones I should set side for future trades etc when I have enough posts. thanks

G4
I would send it in for grading/authentication. The scratch might put it in a genuine or details holder which isn't all that bad. At least you'd know it's real.

Oh...and get yourself a Red Book. It will give you an approximate value for your G to F coins. Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

This is probably a foolish question but here goes. Is it worth the cost of the slab? In other words (1) how much does it cost to get several slabs done and does it enhance the price to make it worth while. I seem to feel slabs would cost about $30 each is that correct, and if the price raw is say $125 would the slab make it worth at least $155? thanks for answering a question that I'm sure is often asked, even though I don't yet know.

The 1914-D Lincoln is actually the "rarest" one....not by mintage, but by difficulty to find. I very, very rarely see them for sale in shops or shows....in any condition. My dealer gets my coins graded for $25 each by NGC or PCGS, so, yes, it's well worth the money. If it is able to get a grade of G-4 it would be worth over $200 on the market. You might even get close to $300 because they are so hard to obtain.

Would it be good to use some acetone, or Verdi-care on it before sending it to be graded, with the corrosion on the reverse?

Try soaking in distilled water and lightly poke at the corrosion spot with a toothpick while it is soaking. Be careful not to scratch the surface. Other than that, I'd leave it alone. It's probably going to not grade because of the reverse scratch, but it will at least be in a "genuine" holder.

All you have to do is let us know what happens. I love the learning experience. It's good for all of us collectors to observe and learn. We only get that by sharing with each other our experiences using great forums like this one.
