I’ve done through quite a few mint sets… and Daniel is right, you have to be able to use magnification and tip coins to see every angle to see every single nick. I’ve found mostly 67’s and 2 68’s (93&94D’s) really hard to find them… I have sets dating back to 1960, all given by my dad as Xmas presents each year, packed away each year and this last went through them looking for Lincoln cents… 99% have just too much damage to send in… lots of dings and scratches in those sets… 60’s and 70’s were terrible… you really have to search through hundred to find 1 or 2 to send in for grading
Thanks! I had a coworker exclaiming he had a $5,000 1 cent Anniversary Lincon. It was a coin that was already in circulation!! I told him the odds of that coin being worth more than 1c was about a billion to one. After taking one look at the coin (even without magnification) I could see marks and what I considered damage to the coin. To this day he refuses to acknowledge the actual value of his coin. My only comment: Let me know when/if you sell it, and more importantly, what someone paid for the coin.
Thank you Daniel for another great video. I love hunting for cents. I have purchased jars and jars of Lincoln cents. I have found a 1909 S VDB sent it off and had it graded by PCGS! I have so many more to look through and you just rekindled my hope!!! I have my grandkids helping me sort and learn about collecting. You are an inspiration and I thank you for being so much for so many!! You truly care for the collectors community ❤
Thank you been checking out you're videos now for a while now. Really enjoy the content. Really trying to get my lil girl in the hobby. She thinks it's play
@@CoinHELPu Ty with so much of my heart! I was actually released early this evening and am just so happy to be home. Lot's of follow ups but a good outcome. I so look forward to your videos. I've learned a wealth of good, useful in everyday life extra fun AND profitable knowledge. But mostly......just seriously fun. Lol I still could never thank you enough. ❤️💯🤗
Thank you Daniel, once again for all the accurate information you provide. I can’t wait to retire to be able to visit your websites. Nurses work until they die. I am trying to enjoy my hobby for at least 10 years😂
Who can afford to send a cent off to get graded and have it come back ms65 or lower. You'll lose money. Will PCGS put some unknown customer above a well known customer. Do they give you reasons why it's a ms67 and not a 70. No.... you're at their mercy.
They cant give you the reason why its a 67. Because it doesn’t look like a 68 is the reason. Personally I don’t think anything is a 70. Or if it is it won’t be for long. It seems that most people don’t have the resolution to even tell the difference and you won’t find a industrial gear inspector who cant find a flaw with anything labeled ms-70
I think, PCGS, is a bit of a rip off, and a scam⁉️ I sent a bunch of Mercury Dimes to them. Plus some of them, have some beautiful toning. They didn't even recognize it. My whole deal with them, costs me around $1500.00. I consider that a bit of an expensive lesson. I will crack open those cases, and will send them to an honest company because they didn't even added any varieties, which some of them have. Even though, I requested them to do it, and I was charged for it. Thank you for your super good advice Daniel.🙏👌❣️
It is a rip off. But the market is there, it’s strong for PCGS coins. Like Daniel said in the video… but personally I would not send any coins to them unless I find something very special. Like, very special…
PCGS doesn't label toning, unless they consider it artificial, so not sure what you mean, they do not do that. Also, if they didn't label your coin a variety, then it is not the variety. Why did you think this way? You never even thought you might be wrong, so you just call them a scam. They know what they're doing, they do make mistakes, and can be inconsistent, but they don't put a variety on a coin unless it is one and they only label the major varieties. All that you should know before submitting instead of calling them a scam.
@@CoinHELPu I am not sure what went on ⁉️ When I see, some of the sales reports,, which involve, "PCGS" graded coins, I see how they recognize the toning. Two of my Mercury Dimes, have some wicked beautiful toning, which look way better than some of the ones I have seen. Then, to add salt to the wound, we must have a membership, to send coins to them. Imagine, paying for the gold membership, paying a very costly shipping from Canada, and then, paying for the grading and all the other selections ⁉️ I think, I am entitled to feel a bit, on the pissed side right ⁉️ I have come to realize that their company, it is more like a club kind of thing ⁉️ I have found out about many other cases as well.
@@madmattdigs9518 Absolutely correct. The place, no matter how much you pay for the service that you choose, I don't think, it is for everyone ⁉️ They must have a selected group of clients that they cater to ⁉️
I do love the videos on the old cents , I really still don't want to collect all the newer cents. I think they're boring, ugly junk that's just my personal opinion. It's extremely difficult to get any of the newer cents that are in great condition because they have, blisters, poor quality, spots, just plain garbage quality is not there.
Great video for information . I saved a bunch when I started, back when I believed that someone would want them. They are somewhere here,probably spotty now. But Still, I'm gonna be a lifer. A shiny penny perks me up. I have gone through a lot nasty coins . Off subject but along with other comments made. Grading companies. Wasn't the whole point of grading in the first place was to help with uniformity?
I liked these kind of vids that shows us beginners or anyone what to look for an how much there worth! You should do this with all of the 90 percent silver coins an let us newbies know what to look for in there years an how much there worth? Just an idea incase you needed some. Thanks Daniel!
I recently opened a bank rolled Lincoln cents that had 6 Red 1959 LMCs. I've put them aside to post on the community forum. I was taken back by their beauty. Anytime I save a coin to sell I ask myself, "Would I buy this coin?". That makes it easier to toss.

I use a piece of rubber backed cutain that has a short napped front side to place my coins under the scope. It makes it very easy to allow for tipping coins in order to check for any traces of planchet errors or markings that cause you to suffer from Pareideola. I simply push on one edge of the material. That allows for graduated angling of your coin. I often see metallic cubic squares that are flush with the coins surface. I believe these cubes are caused by the differences in temperatures as metallic elements cool. In nature, different metals form large/small cubes or (crystalline structures) with differentiating temperatures. This is characteristic in Zinc. You can easily see them on galvanized pipes. They are Zinc coated. All elemental metals have this property and form unique cubes, squares, and inclusions basically depending on "out of the kiln" ambient temperatures.
I have a full box of 2023 D shield cents, sounds like a winter activity👌, I’d say if you come across a box full of first time wrapped coins that’d be a good chance 😂👍
Daniel, I’m curious if you’ve seen the latest information on the 1794 Gold Flowing Hair info the U.S. Mint released this evening. I’d really like your thoughts and input as to all they’re saying. I scanned over it briefly. One thing they mention is auctioning off a Flowing Hair gold coin at a later date than the sale date with a 230 privy mark and a COA signed by Mint Director. I’d love your take on all the info released today about it. Thank you.
@ yes sir, they sent me a update when it come out a little bit ago. I’m going to read over everything again shortly. I was interested in your take if you had read their latest information release for the gold coin. Thank you for the reply. I’ll be watching for a video from you once you see it. Thanks for all the videos you share with us.
You're right in that most of us can't tell a ms69 vs an ms70. But I think the people who are big pcgs customers will get favoritism. A lot of the coin auction results are by the same people. A regular joe like me don't stand a chance. Its a racquet for the well known in the industry. I for example have 1970 proof sets, 5, one is a small date cent the other 4 are not. I have taken them to coin shops and no one will say yes that's a sm. date when it's obvious when the two are side be side. So why bother, yiu can't get straight answers from anyone. But I'm going to keep on collecting.
You're wrong about favoritism, if that were true then there would be more MS70's business strike cents gifted to them, but as I proved, there's not that many.
The new issues there are billions minted so you can find them in high grade but am not looking for those....but I like to look through 1989 and back....I have even recently found my first Indian cent in my search...really looking for a copper 89 or 82small 2 d copper...I save all the coppers 82 and back.....even found a 72 double die....it is fun but I have cut back alot....as long as you treat it as fun then its ok...
unfortunately if they do start finding and cerifying a bunch in high grades the values will quickly drop. a large part of that value is scarcity, whether genuine or percieved, the 1903 o morgan is a great example, the mint was holding bags of them for decades making it seem like they were scarce, then suddenly they released a bunch all at once and the value plumeted. in the 60s the 93 s and 03 o were priced identically, we saw what happed though
Actually is hype and registry sets, and although the value can drop some, but it would take three or more to do that. It's the number available versus the amount of collectors that want them.
I just watched another video that claimed that 1964-D Lincoln Cent was worth several thousand. I called BS on it, for what ever my opinion is worth. I have 5 uncirc bank rolls that I got in 1964. Never opened after I saw they were uncirc. I seriously doubt that I have $1M worth of pennies in my safe. What is going on?
Not sure if I agree with Pcgs being the top grading company. There holders are not as good as NGC and as far as grading NGC and PcGS are about the same. Not sure why there is a bias?!
I have a 1982 p sm dt zinc and an 86 p in the encapsulation stage now. Both possible 69's 1986 p ms 69 red $12,500 1982 p Small Date zinc ms 69 red $15,000. Keep your eye on the populations. Bout to change because of my two coins. Might get a proof like designation for the 1986 p... It's that gorgeous.
Whenever a really common new type coin comes out, I go through hundreds of them trying to find the best one. I throw the obvious junkers aside and then go through my handful of good ones to see which is the least marked. I don't do it to have them graded to make money. I just like having a nice one. And it's something fun to do when you have a dry box of coins with nothing else interesting.
I love your app but I’m not that good with Computer so if there’s eney way you could Tex me a way to send you picks of one coin and let you tell me what to do or how if you could do I have a 1983 penny that looks like a steel penny and thick copper Sandwiched in between the silver on front and back if you can thank you if not it’s OK
The 2019 W was actually a special NICO issue. I did get a 2019 in ms68 on the first coins that I ever had grade see. Git out of a mint set. Sold for $900.01
I’ve done through quite a few mint sets… and Daniel is right, you have to be able to use magnification and tip coins to see every angle to see every single nick.

So hard to get 68-70 straight grade in Lincoln's for sure.tour right you don't know if you don't send them off.👍👍

Daniel 99.9% of the people cant tell the difference between a 6 9 or a 70.. i know i cant 🙂

I'm confused. So do we look in the uncirculated sets and NOT the proof sets, for the pennies that we should have graded?
Yeah you get way more money for the uncirculated mint sets than you do in proof sets in higher grade.
This video isn't about proofs, you can use the same PCGS price guide I did in this video to see what to send off.
I just watched another video that claimed that 1964-D Lincoln Cent was worth several thousand. I called BS on it, for what ever my opinion is worth. I have 5 uncirc bank rolls that I got in 1964.

AI clickbait videos
I thought you can you use cents from the uncirculated coin set to get graded as BU coins .
Good info Daniel
I use a halogen light in a dark room with no other light.
That's crazy thank you for the information
I noticed to many spots on the newer penny's
Not sure if I agree with Pcgs being the top grading company. There holders are not as good as NGC and as far as grading NGC and PcGS are about the same. Not sure why there is a bias?!
It's the market, not my opinion. You can check sold auction records.
