Completely understand the initial reaction lol, I looked through those posts as well, and had to face palm on a few. What gets me is on ebay, in the sold listings is what appears to be a 1992 D that sold for thousands, but not even actually being a CAM! Like its actually insane!

I appreciate the response! I wish I could get better pictures of it, but have failed to get the lighting correct. But the scratch by Lincoln's chin was super light, and probably only showed up as apparent as it did due to the lighting hitting it at the right angle, I didn't actually even notice it until looking at the picture lol. I do see what you mean with your other points, and really appreciate having those things pointed out! These are things my untrained eye misses! As far as declaring a value before sending it in, I really appreciate the tips! Its all new to me, and didn't even know where to start with a guess to that! Especially with the huge range of prices its gone for! So thanks! And yeah, I noticed a ton of posts from others claiming to find them as well lol, was actually afraid my post would be ignored because of them

I understand the confusion haha, I'm only 27 but I've always loved Coins growing up, and I actually used to have a red book back in the mid 2000's, but have since lost it. I learned quite a lot about coins, and what to look for when searching through them, and the different types of errors that exist have always fascinated me. The only part of numismatics I never really learned was how to grade coins looking at them, what to look for in a coin like the scratch that's been brought up and how that would affect the grade of the coin. Wish I could say I could look at a coin and know where it potentially stands condition wise haha, so learning what I did so far has been really helpful. When it comes to getting coins graded, I've never needed to do it before, so it was new territory that I wanted to get advise on. As far as assembling different coin sets goes, and being considered an actual coin collector, I've never really had much interest in it, besides for having the 50 US states quarters. So being that I never deeply got into the hobby, a lot of the terms you say you never heard of, don't even sound familiar to me. But I do stack gold and silver, love the history of different coins, and learning about the many varieties there are in US coin history, and really enjoy seeing the different silver coins other countries have, and I still really enjoy roll hunting and coin searching when I have free time. As far as the value of the coin I found, I was mostly curious to see what collectors had to say because of the huge ranges I've seen it go for. A bit of context in how I found the 92-D, my grandparents had a huge jar filled with pennies, and they decided they wanted to cash it out. (Not insanely large, probably 20ish dollars worth) which explains its condition, its been sitting in a jar for 15-20 years. So of course I asked if I could search them first, and they were perfectly fine with that, and ended up getting lucky on it!

Appreciate the detailed response! I'm definitely going to try and find someone in my area that can help me with submitting it. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction to get this process started!

Trying to give the best pics I can, different lighting affects how it looks though

Im fairly certain that I have indeed found a 1992 D CAM, but of course if you think otherwise id like to hear. My main questions are first, how well do you believe it would grade? The front does have some dark spots in the top right, but the back looks pretty good. Second Question, how much could this coin go for? Not even sure how best to go about selling it if I send it in to be graded haha, thanks for any help!
