JustinH New Member United States 20 Posts	Posted 07/30/2010 6:55 pm I was orginally just showing it but after I posted I noticed the grading sub forum. So if someone could give it a grade I would grateful! Regards, Justin Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15398 Posts	Posted 07/30/2010 7:09 pm OK .... the Admin Dudes (those late nite folks with green eye shades) will come along shortly and move your post to the US Modern Coin grading forum .... I can tell you that most grading experts will ask for better photos ..... this is a relatively common coin .... and your photos lack the detail necessary for a definitive grade. Suggest you crop and re-size ..... resolution appears OK but size and visual detail might be a problem. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

afclassic87 Pillar of the Community United States 564 Posts	Posted 07/30/2010 11:28 pm Steel cents are hard to grade because they rust. I won't buy rusty 1943 cents because I don't know how ling they will last with a rust spot. With better pictures I can give you a grade for wear. Like I said rust plays a factor in the grade but I'm not sure of the ratio. Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19935 Posts	Posted 07/30/2010 11:58 pm Welcome to CC! Don't get too excited over steel cents. They are easy obtain in mint state for under $10. Your coin is between VF and EF but it is corroded. It's probably worth 5 to 10 cents on a good day. I'm sorry if you may have thought it was worth more. Lincoln Cent Lover!
