    It is also against eBay policy to sell a numerical graded coin whether marked on a 2x2 or the description   
    unless it is from one of the eBay recognized graders.  You can describe it as something like Good or Fine
    as long there is no number associated with it.

    Greenstang got a reaction from Mike Meenderink in 1963 Denver Lincoln cent. Help grade   
    It would cost around $60.00 to have it graded when it has a value of a couple of cents.  
    Also there are no “Full Steps” on memorial cents, that term only applies to Jefferson nickels.

    Not double struck or any other type of error.

    It would cost more to have them graded then what they are worth.  
    If you are planning on selling them, then for maximum profit sell them raw.

    Welcome to the Chat Board
    Agree with Mr. Bill on what he has stated.   
    If you were to show a closeup of the area you think was Doubled, someone here will be able to verify it one
    way or the other but my feeling is that it is NOT a DD. It would be very unusual to have only one letter doubled.  
    Don’t forget also that a TPG usually only uses a 5X when checking for errors and if it is not listed in Variety Plus, then it is not recorded as such.
    I think scopes do more harm than good as they bring out all the minor anomolies that are on a coin that many newer collectors think are errors.
    Personally  if I can’t see an error without magnification, then it is too minor to have much value.  
    It is only major errors that you can see without magnification that have much value.

    It all depends on what you want to collect, it is up to the individual.
    There are people who collect error coins and have accumulated quite a nice collection.  
    Others such as myself ( although I do have a couple) would not pay a premium for an error coin.  
    There are some purists who consider errors as damage.

    Welcome to the forum
    This forum is for buying and selling coins.  You should really have posted this in the Newbie Forum for better response.
    To answer your question, the coins you have are only worth face value.  Total $1.25
    Why did you think they were worth more?

    Always show both sides of the coin when making inquires.  
    From what I can tell, your 1974 CENT looks like a dryer coin which is damage
    but a photo of the obverse would confirm this.
    **Was able to open the hidden contents and can now see the Obverse. The smaller diameter and
    thicker rims indicate that it is a dryer coin. No premium for this.

    You will find these on the end coin of most rolls.  
    Many of these out there in all denominations and considered damage, not an error.  
    Value 25 cents.

    It has been soaked in acid. Usually the rims are first to go.  
    Not unusual, they sometimes did this as a High School experiment.
