Lincoln Wheat Cent Error - 1933 Triple Die Reverse - HELP!

[mjm579]

Not sure where to post this one, so I'm posting it here and also in the collectors forum.

I have NEVER found a double die error, but when I picked up this coin today from the 50% off bin at a coin show I knew I had to have it.

Question 1 - How much does it cost to get an error coin verified?

Question 2 - What lab gets the best return on investment?

Question 3 - If this error is what I think it is, what could I expect to get for this coin with the right collector?

Oh, I almost forgot to mention, that this coin is in impeccable condition!! In a few spots, a shiny copper hue is evident. You can see all of the fine details on this coin....oh, and with only 14,360,000 minted, I'm hoping the lower montage will help drive up the value of this coin.

I will not evaluate the error, but the best one would be PCGS or NGC. Their prices are similar, around $20.

Based on the pics im gonna say heavily deteriorated die but by no means am I suggesting that im right. Better pics if you can, its surely interesting. If you dont want to spend the money to get it graded i know an error expert who can evaluate it for cheaper, then instruct you further on its potential value.

PCGS is the way to go.

Get opinions from local coin shops and then if you want to slab the thing, go with PCGS.
