Ngc slabs grading "?" 0

[JAnsley]

Why would these not include a grade? And what does it mean? Ask cause im looking into buying them

[Fenntucky Mike]

They do "Brilliant Uncirculated", it's called an Adjectival Grade which means they graded within a range. Specifically MS60 - 70. I wouldn't pay much more than FV for those if you're looking to acquire them.

What Mike said is spot on.  There’s some of those first 4 issues that are missing the edge lettering. Those make a fun chase.  Again most of these are available fairly inexpensive and if a numerical grade 69’s are out there (1-70 Sheldon grading scale)🤠

welcome aboard.   Google unknown terms eBay offers a sold list for comparison shopping. Good luck

Similar terminology is used for authentic blanks, planchets and other items that were not circulating currency.

NGC slabbed unknown quantities of earlier Presidential dollars this way as a promotional item. They are similar to the idea of “sample” slabs.

But perhaps not as collectible. There are those who covet the plastic more than the coin 🤠

Don’t be in a hurry to do everything at once. Enjoy the process. When you’re old and gray, it’ll be the joys of the process that you’ll treasure.

Quick question and ill start another form if need be but is there such thing as a 1971 cent D/S? Asking because i think i found one. If it was on a post '82 id dismiss it as zinc rot but being on a 95% copper i cant very well do that.

Thanks jeff

As far as I know a 1971 Lincoln Cent OMM does not exist.  Most likely they are die chips that may resemble something that you think you are seeing. Lincoln Cent OMM are far and few between and nothing I am aware of from the 1970's.
