    1965 proof lincoln cent

    in Newbie Coin Collecting Questions

    Posted

    In response to your comments about the coin. I will post closer and clearer pictures or at least try. Also if this is a business strike would you say that this coins condition would be in a mint state condition and if so could you give me an idea on how high roughly so i can compare my other finds. I am truly a newbie obviously trying to learn has not been easy but always up for a new challenge and willing to search through thousands of coins in order to find at least one inspirational find to keep my enthusiasm high without being too discouraged by the more seasoned professionals? Also dont want to put too much into a hobby i have no business picking up in the first place if i lack the proper skills and ability to identify and remember all the many varieties and errors as there can be so many that look similiar in nature through regular wear and tear. Im certainly amped up on the subject and am getting other people concious to the point of searching through all of thier coins on a daily basis. I must have collected from 1919-1965 over 200 coins that being of lincoln wheat cents are in at least really good to very fine or better state.That was through the bank or somebody elses piggy banks just for fun. Im working now on learning to identify the differences in wear and tear and actual error. Thank you for all of your helpful comments and thank you for clarifying that in this particular year there were no proof sets.

    It is nice but grading is not cheap and it may cost more than it is worth in the end ?

    I feel like an insufficiently_thoughtful_person sometimes because there is so much to learn and so many varieties its confusing

    How do i know if I found a new cherry pick variety or an undiscovered coin?

    @Woods020 Tell you what... you put that thing on eBay, with the OP's consent, with or without a shot of the reverse, with or without professional consultation with the tacit understanding you may ascribe features to it that are real, imagined, similar to or superior to other documented specimens, and you, and everyone else, can place your bids as to its hoped for actual retail price and hopefully put an end to all this nonsensical speculation as to what you or anyone else thinks they may or may not have. You don't buy a used car involved in a serious accident, fire or flood.  If a Rolls Royce has been totaled, you remove the Spirit of Ecstasy, and that's the end of it..  Insurance covers the rest. The comments above will serve as the crippled coin's obituary.

    P. S.  Some of the most interesting gentlemen here have been expelled elsewhere.  There is a rumor a feisty young woman once was but I believe that to be unsubstantiated rumor. I don't require a chaperone. And I don't believe anyone else does either. Thus far, no one has argued for submission which would be the height of irresponsibility.
