I discovered a legitimate 1981 DDO RD Lincoln Cent while coin roll hunting it's not yet graded obviously. I would say it's between (AU55) - (AU58) oh and it's for sure a BU very nice luster. So my question is what should I do next. I have great pictures but I can't seem to attach them with this question. This is my first significant find. Please advise?

    You can drag and drop pictures

    Or

    You can open the picture in a photo editing program, select all of the photo then copy and paste

    Will need straight on, full view pics of both sides

    Additionally there are no grades between AU55 and AU58
    Also AU means almost uncirculated and BU means brilliant uncirculated. It can’t be both AU and BU

    A coin cannot be both AU and BU. I will revisit this thread when the photos are up.

    Can't help until you post photos.

    Why do you think it is 'legitimate' ?
