I'm a new collector and am trying to figure out which are good and which are bad...I suspect this one is "good". Please let me know what you think of the grade for this very shiny 1917 cent. Thanks $0.02worth Edited by TwoCentsWorth 09/25/2010 03:19 am Report this Post to the Staff

TwoCentsWorth Valued Member Canada 250 Posts	Posted 09/25/2010 3:49 pm Thanks for the replies guys, by "shiny" I meant it still has its original red patina on the coin. Hasn't browned yet, but it doesn't show any signs of cleaning either. Without cleaning lines or obvious discoloration, how would someone know if it had been previously cleaned? Cheers $0.02 worth Report this Post to the Staff
TwoCentsWorth Valued Member Canada 250 Posts	Posted 09/25/2010 3:52 pm Also, I do agree that there are no "bad" coins. I have some very ugly ones that I just love looking at. I only meant that for sending in a coin to ICCS I should try to send in my best (to get the best results) only for kicks to see what its at. When I get new coin I like to look at history charts and see what this coin may have purchased in its mint state. $0.02 Worth Report this Post to the Staff
