1957-D cent question

PTVETTER

I have come accross 5 bank rolled 1957-D cents question is should I send them in for grading...??

I would go through them and maybe submit the best 1 or 2.MS-66 RD's may be worth $40/50,but if you could find a 67RD you would be in the $'s(Lists for $4000 in Pcgs Price guide)

Not worth the fees to send in 66's...I never complain of grades received.
But lately they have been super tight on lincolns.Or my eyes are plain wore out.

Good luck on finding a 67.

I haven't opened the rolls yet. They came into the shop in the federal reserve box. Not a full box but I think I have his last 5 unopened rolls.

Problem is I can't seem to get the lincoln MS grades right PCGS and I see things different. In fat I use a few PCGS grades coins to compare with and I still don't understand thier grading standarts

I'd have someone familiar with PCGS standards regarding grading of this series go over them for you rather than send in a roll.
That'd be a real shot in the dark.

Here's one that got into a 66RD holder. Pic shows a few holder scratches.



I'd love to get my mitts on a roll..... Someday.

Get the rolls certified as "First Strike"

(seriously, do what is suggested and have someone used to PCGS lincoln grading take a look and then decide....you may have some good ones or you may have 5 rolls that won't make the cut).

I have a ton of 66 reds in various common years. I always assumed this was someones' attempt at a 67. Am I right?

PTVETTER

that's my guess
MS 66 someone tried for a 67 and did not quite make it

I have my share of "misstakes" that's how (I thought) I learned how to grade.
I have about 20 PCGS blue boxs full,not counting the ones I gave to the YN's.

Expensive lesson but well worth it.

There are a lot of really nice 66's in holders that did not get the 67 label due to the huge bump in price from 66 to 67.
If you are looking for nice coins on the cheap, look at some of the 66 slabs.

You are absolutely right.That's why I have so many.Most were off by one point and
would have been pop 1's.
