    My new penny pick up should I send it off to get graded?

    a) What do you think the value is currently (ungraded)?
    b) How much do you think it would cost to get it graded?
    c) What do you think the value would be if it is graded?

    Most people would say that if (c) is less than (a) + (b), then you should not send it off.

    Did you find this variety in any of the literature?
    Coneca, variety Vista or Coinfacts?

    If so does rarity equal worth being graded?

    If you did not find the variety
    .. Maybe coin is not what you think it is...

    If you still think you have something special reach out to variety specialists and get 2nd opinion.

    Probably just a die chip. Not with the cost of postage much less slabbing.

    It’s a totally normal proof cent. It’s just the way the S looks.

    The S looks as if it may have a die chip on the left... Minor issue, no numismatic premium. Cheers, RickO
