1909-no mint mark Lincoln cent

I am planning on selling several Lincoln cents, but would like to know whether or not having them graded will benefit me. I am posting one of the best looking. (To myself anyway) Thank you

  • If this had a mint mark, it would be worth getting graded. Without one, it's worth less than the cost of grading.

    Welcome to the forum! :)

    Sorry that one is not worth the cost of grading. :/

    Unless a coin is worth at least $150- 200.00, it is not worth the cost of grading
    and your 1909 cent would not fall into that category.

    Grading didn’t benefit those guys.

    @ScarScar how much do you think your coin is worth as is, ungraded?

    How much do you think it will be worth if graded?

    How much do you think it will cost to get it graded?

    Those are serious questions that I hope you will answer.

    Get it graded if you want to donate to your TPG of choice.

  • Thank yall for taking time to crush a chics dreams! Just kidding, I swear! I knew I would recieve honesty from true collectors and was prepared to accept whatever the experts outcome was. Again, thank you and I will have questions on a few more when I have free time to post.

    Welcome.
    Keep at it. There’s too many dudes. Take a read at some threads behind default avatars (usually new members)—they show you what to avoid writing and displaying.
    You only need to say “no mint mark” for a 2017 cent if it lacked one, (because that is the only year Lincoln cent with a p). The rest of the cents with no mint mark come from Philadelphia.

    @Fraz you're forgetting the 1922 no D and the proof 1990 no S.
