Would worth grading this 1954 P Lincoln Cent?
Comments
@Srivano Welcome to the forums.
Grading fees will cost over $50. Unless the cent can grade perfect
or near perfect it would not be worth it.
Unfortunately they do not look high enough grade.
Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value. Zero. Voltaire. Ebay coinbowlllc
Looks like it was hit with some 100 grit.
Won't grade, cleaned obverse.

I don't necessarily see it as cleaned, but I do see what I consider to be a ton of die polish. Regardless, I also see no reason to pay to have that coin certified.

I wouldn't.
I vote no for slabbing as well but just wanted to say that you take a pretty decent coin pic.

It's a nice 54, hard to find without spots but most likely a 65. A 66 Red used to be $400 coin and it was low pop, but you can get one now for much much less. The story I heard was a flood in the Philadelphia mint made these prone to spotting. 1948- 1954 P mint coins are tough to find without spots. I scoop up all the nice ones I can find for $5-$20 in dealers binders, cheap fun.
1954 Lincolns were not made very well. I agree that it wouldn't be worth the fee to get it encapsulated. Lot of die polish on that one. It might even have been re-worked.

No. Obverse cleaned. Reverse cleaned.
Not high enough quality to warrant the cost of grading. It looks like die polish lines to me, like Tom said.

Great pictures.
No.
These coins almost have to float on water to be worth grading. No, this one is not good enough. I have the impression that the reverse may have been cleaned.

@Srivano ...Welcome aboard... Very nice pictures... The coin shows die polish lines and some normal handling scratches... Not worth grading, but a nice album coin. Cheers, RickO
Here I have another 1954 Lincoln Cent as candidate:) worth to grade???
I wouldn't submit that one either. PCGS Photograde will give you an idea of what they are looking for in a particular grade.
The cent would need to grade 66 or more for it to be cost effective.

HA doesn’t grade coins. As @ChangeInHistory mentioned use Photograde to get an idea of the grade:

Next to a Beauty, the color are very nice:)!
Remember that one way or another, you paid for those vouchers. If you have to send something just to use the vouchers, it might be a sign that it wasn't worth it to get them. That doesn't help now, but it may be something to consider when the opportunity next presents itself to buy vouchers.
Since 1954 Lincoln Cent is hard to find,
this example to me is pretty 😊😜
I have dozens of rolls that I been buying for over two years ... that I been searching...
1954 cent.
65 years old and a mintage of 71.6 million lowest of the three cents that year (not including the PFs).
Srivano, If you like it that's all that matters. You've already got the vouchers so why not?
Sometimes I think that animals are smarter than humans, animals would never allow the dumbest one to lead the pack
Really.....
if you have a voucher to fill and you are looking for the best 54-P to submit, just to see what happens, i would go with the second one you posted.
If you really want to have the cent graded ensure you follow the instructions carefully.
