ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 16861 Posts	Posted 06/15/2023 3:50 pm Always nice to find a Wheat cent in very decent condition. The photos aren't the best to work with, but I'd say your coin falls somewhere in the AU55-MS61 range. One could find a similar coin ('45 D) at a coin show or coin shop for anywhere between 25-75 cents, maybe even $1. In my opinion, it wouldn't be worth the fees and shipping costs to have this example graded. Might be a different story if your coin was MS67 or better. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/15/2023 4:09 pm As a general rule:A coin needs a retail value after slabbing of at least $150 to justify all costs involved in sending it in.Here is a link on grading:https://www.PCGS.com/photograde/ Here is a link on value,also check ebay sold values:http://m.numismedia.com/rarecoinprices.htm John1 ( I'm no pro, it's just my humble opinion ) Searched 6.5 +/- Million Cents Since 1971 Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 17393 Posts	Posted 06/17/2023 1:09 pm again you need to work on your photo skills. this one is way washed out with the glare and too small to really tell anything. without better photos i'd say high AU. Quote: Is it better to grade nice coins before selling? not sure if you mean grading it raw like we are doing here or sending the coin in for professional grading? on your other posts we have already discussed about sending coins in for grading Report this Post to the Staff
