Titles are indexed on the forum so others can find/research when they have a similar coin.

:character-cookiemonster: Titles must include date, type of coin and a specific small description of your question. [/u]

This is a 1999 wide A M Lincoln cent
I am only allowed to submit two pictures so I’m gonna show you the ones that concern me on the obverse pictures the reverse of the coin is perfect and everybody knows what a 99 wide A M Lincoln cent looks like

The obverse has fine scratches on it in one position it looks fine when you tilt it with the light in a different direction you can see the problem

First Would it be graded ? if it does get graded how low of a grade do you think it would be a assigned

Thank you for your time everybody

We wish everyone knew what a WAM was, we still get questions on that one.
Also, you're allowed to post more than one image we just discourage people posting more than one coin in the same topic.

Based on these images it could be scratched or this could be something else, but we can't give you technical grades here. You might. consider sending your coin to ANACS
and they will give you a grade. You don't need to be a member and you can go to their site and print off their submission form.

I never ask for an image of the reverse but our guidelines ask that you do initially. Also, please don't send images and ask for help in PMs.

I do appreciate that you was able to add images here but I still can't tell you if you should submit for grading. Go to PCGS price guide and see what they're worth in circulated grades and how much it cost to submit the coin.

:character-cookiemonster: I had to correct your title so it would be meaningful for the forum's search function.
Please take the link I put inside your first post so you know what the forum guidelines are and no corrections will be needed in the future. Thank you! :D
