Die Crack

badgrdog

I am very new to all this. I just recently started selling some coins from my Mother-in-Law's Estate. While examining the coins I found a 1921 Lincoln Wheat Cent that appears to have evidence of a die crack on the observed side. Does this add or detract from the coin's value and would it be worth sending it in to be graded?

Thanks

Mike. Sometimes they will add a little to the value if they are interesting, but I'm not a copper person, so maybe someone that is can help you better.

Mike, in the left hand corner of the screen there should be a padlock that is flashing red...click on it.

My guess is no, not worth sending in, but I could be wrong It's still a cool find though!!
