Hi everyone. I got this penny just today. I would like to hear how people think it grades. The photos are poor as usual from me....sorry.
I know it is a common date but is it worth slabbing. Would it get 64?
I am convinced it has not been cleaned. The lustre is a little streaky, especially on the reverse which gives the impressions of hairlines in the photos.

That is a nice coin but why spend $50 getting it slabbed when on "blue book" the value is between $44 /$100 that is for AU58/ MS 62 Maybe even come back with "Details" on the slab
I cannot see any wear on the coin and thought it may have had a chance at 63 or 64. Ive since received advice on CCF it wouldnt get 64 and would probably be 62 or 63. Consequently I wont bother sending for slabbing.
I found it in a bulk lot and the 1925's i found have already paid for the rest of the lot so i suppose this is basically free :) it may not be as good as i originally thought but its still better than the one i already had.

It is far better than my own grotty 1936 Penny great pick up.
This is a very nice coin and you, me and the door post knows it why bother with getting it slabbed .
YOU enjoy the coin and that is all that counts, Thats what numismatics is all about IMHO:yahoo:
I really have made it look like a dog in the photos. It is much nicer.
