Is this a D/D Lincoln cent?

If not is it worth grading anyways?

I dont think so. Nice looking cent.

Stef, Your mm doesn't match either C/P's variety for that date. (rpm 3 and 4) Unless that Lincoln grades 66rd or better, probably not cost effective to slab. Looks like you've purchased numerous
Lincolns recently. Your other post had some nice ones as well! Mel

Thanks for the help. The mm just looked like it was re-punched so I thought I would see what others thought about.

I had a few albums and sold them a year or so back. I managed to keep a few nice ones and was going through them the past few days.

If they are not worth slabbing I guess I will sell them raw or put them into a small Cent holder I have for about 20 or so that are nice.

if you truly want precision opinions, we really need precision images because the differences between 64-66 is often quite negligible for lincolns in this date range.

the risks vs rewards are split into 4 on this one

1. 64-$25
2. 65-$70
3. 66-$200+

4. any chance of RB really dampens the formula but can still work if it hits 66; 65 is an acceptable possibly with a low cost basis.

selling raw within this date range is a strong possibility.

if your cost basis is low and you take your time selling, a 65 grade could be ok if you send it with other coins to bring the cost down. you can do the calculations for the grading, shipping vs selling raw. very simple comparison of numbers. the hard part obviously is estimating how it would grade. very small margin of error before you are buried. unless you think there is a strong chance of 65+ or 66, i'd probably just try to sell it raw in the 20-60 range. i can't say for sure w/o pro images and/or holding in-hand.

that's my take anyway.

Hi Stef,
It does not look like an RPM.
Those carbon spots will limit the grade.

Excelent strike but the spots limit the grade to a 65 max and 64 is highly possible, I would not send it in.
