One of the factors that determine the value of your coins is the grade or condition of the coin. Lincoln wheat pennies are fairly easy to grade but remember that a coin's grade is only an opinion and not a scientific measurement. However, numismatists, coin dealers and coin collectors have agreed upon certain characteristics that define each grade.
I have simplified the grading process by using a series of pictures and descriptions that will teach you how to assign a grade to your Lincoln wheat cents for the most common grades. You can click on each of the photos and a new window will open with a larger and more detailed photo for you to study.
