I would like your opinion on the grade and rarity of this type of error for 1997.
Should I send it in for grading or is it a waste of money?
Thank you

Major die break including the rim = Cud.
AU
NICE one.
In my opinion, grading is not so important as attribution/authentication of the error, and also preservation since it is a Zincoln.
I do not know the value so I don't know if it is worth slabbing. @ErrorsOnCoins will know what the market will bear on this one.
And Welcome!
A new poster with a real error, and a major one at that.
Keep it, send it in, sell it to me, it's all good
Welcome to the forum @oldtimmer.
Very nice error. Looks like EOC has some good options.
That one is actually interesting! Nice find. As to value I will have to defer to the error collectors/dealers.
Wow, very major.
Crazy cool.
Worth a LOT more than 1c.
Thousands of times more.
Did you find it in change?
I wouldn't submit it; not needed....will sell readily without certification.
Very cool, it is way beyond a cud. The die just flat out broke off a chunk. As far as the grade goes, it looks high AU but it might be because of the pics. I think that it would be worth it to get it graded, especially if you got it for face value or at least really cheap.
I was going threw a large water jug of pennies my friend had.
I was looking for wheat backs and memorial cent's I needed for my collection.
I could not believe it when I came across this penny.
My friend has been throwing his pennies into this water jug since the 60s.
The jug has been raided a few times over the years but there some very nice early 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s pennies with full luster.
Wonderful find! Beats the heck out of the usual bowtie fantastic.
Welcome!

The ol’ coins in the jar (or any container). I still do that, but it is all pocket change and I go through it and make rolls when it is overflowing.
Must admit not so much lately. The plastic bankcard has risen in priority for purchases for the last few years because of its convenience.
Maybe Charmy will give her opinion, oh and where's Fred? Thanks @insider2

Wow... major cud..... Neat find. Great error cent... grading and slabbing should ensure maximum value...If it were me, I would probably have it slabbed, not because I would sell it, but to preserve it. It is a zincoln... Cheers, RickO
I wouldn't have expected any less from you, EOC..................................
NICE.

It is a very nice large die break error. An amazing find.
I have one of these in my cud collection, and I paid $80 for it in 2013. I would guess it's worth $100 give or take.

With the barrage of uninformed newbs posting "error" coins that are usually nothing more than roadkill, it is indeed refreshing to see the real deal for once. I was initially skeptical when I clicked in. Nice!
I have listed this coin on ebay
Wanted to Thank all for the good advice and the friendly welcome
Good luck on the sale.
I think it should top $100.
Maybe 120-140.
Just my opinion.
After this sells I hope buy the last 3 memorial cents I need for my collection
A great find!
Bid currently at $81. Good luck!
Smitten with DBLCs.
@oldtimmer what did this sell for? Just curious.
Weird but I don't see a cud. I see missing metal as in detached lamination.
