Why would you think it is valuable or worth getting graded?

"Great condition no errors Red" is not an answer.

It would cost more in fees than the coin is worth...which is not much over face value.

Ok thank you I appreciate that better safe than sorry

This coin will top out at MS-63. Do you have any idea of the cost of grading?

No sorry I am new to this sorry I am inquiring here at this forum to try and learn

The cost of grading will be $50 or so plus shipping both ways. Afterward, you will be lucky to sell it for a dollar.

A very nice coin for an album or folder, but not worth the fees to have graded.

That would look great in some album

Steven59 · January 2, 2025 5:08PM

Nice album coin at the most!

Like others have said, it’s a nice album coin, but not worth the cost of grading. As you’re learning, it should be referred to as “cent”, not “penny”.

Is there some doubling on the " In God We Trust" possibly?

Rc5280 · January 2, 2025 6:11PM

It's a nice 1C, but not worth sending it in as the guys have already said...
I sent this one in on hopes of a + or 67 , but no luck! (I found 50-60 pcs same condition CRH 10 yrs ago)...
I also sent it in with 22 other coins, so it's overall costs were "absorbed" a bit lol...
MS 66-D below, ⇊ maybe worth $25 on a good day!?

A 63 is worth under $1. Slabbing costs $30 and up. 99.9999% of coins should not be slabbed.

No. Many coins show "machine doubling" and it is not collectible.

Too many hits to get a high grade. Spend it.

You can learn more about these mint state cents by buying a roll of these
red uncirculated cents for well under $5 a roll and look them all over. You will realize that the one you currently have is mid level mint state. Nice and graded MS-63 red which is choice Mint State but certainly not rare. There are literally thousands of these rolls still around as so many were saved.
