1969 D Lincoln Memorial Penny with Floating Roof and missing FG 1 1

hello again Team,

I'm back with another cool find! This 1969 D Penny with Floating Roof and missing FG I can say is certainly a cool find! This coin has a lot of eep scratches so I don't think I will be getting this one graded. What do you guys think it's worth?

This Forum is for buying and selling coins, have asked a mod to move to the proper forum.

As far as your Cent goes, it has a little value over face. Floating roofs are quite common and can occur on any year Lincoln Memorial cent, in fact they are not even recognized by the major grading companies anymore  Keep it as an example if you like though.

I agree with Greenstang it is a normal 1969 with the floating roof I think I can still see the faint FG on the reverse .The more you roll hunt the many more you will find like this. It is from a over polished die.

The 1969 D with no FG is a recognized variety and collectible, but I am with J P M on this as I can see a faint FG on your coin and I don't think it would get attributed as a no FG despite paying the $18 Variety Plus fee. Also with the wear on the coin, I would also agree that it is not worth the grading fees for putting in a holder.

I did find some better examles sold on eBay in February 2023. I see them being sold for around $2 to $5, most being around the $2 range.

I think you could find almost any coin you want on the internet. I suggest going slow with whatever you decide to collect. Get a Red Book for easy reference and spend some time on this forum asking questions before buying anything.
