1943 wheat penny

[adamjnelson12]

Does anyone here think that $5.95 is a good deal for a 1943 (no mint mark) steel wheat penny graded MS 65 by NGC? I have never purchased a coin before and I'm wondering what everyone thinks. I appreciate it.

NGC has a mobile app that gives good info, PCGS has an app that gives values by grade. Sounds like an okay deal if its encapsulated, I love steel pennies and would buy it for that price.

Thanks for the info. It is in a encapsulated case and look really nice.

That would be a very good deal, they seem to be selling on ebay for $15 or so.

I'd just make sure it looks good. I've seen older slabbed steel cents (and copper for that matter) that started corroding in the case, long after they were graded.

For $6, I don't think you can go wrong.

Good buy unless it looks like this...

What a disaster!

That's what I'm talking about.....they can turn to crap right inside a sealed case.
