I got this in change at grocery store. I am a coin watcher, but don’t find many anymore. 1941S seems to be a great prewar date. It doesn’t look like it has been in circulation a lot. Maybe someone raided grandma’s coin jar!
Is it worth grading? I’ve never had one done. I hope this forum was the right choice for this. If not, I apologize. Thank you.
 

Sorry... but No... it is not worth grading.
Condition is not good enough to bother... for that date especially.

Even in a Mint State 67 (which yours is not even close to this) it would only be worth about 25 ish dollars.

Grading would cost more than that from 2 of the 3 graders.

Not knocking the coin... it is in "great" condition... just not IMO worth the time money and effort.

Put it in cardboard flip... and sell for 5 bucks IF you can get it.

Thanks, I don’t sell much. But will keep for posterity. I appreciate your help.

Common date wheat cents like this usually sell in bulk for a few cents each. I still keep all I find though.
