I have been given several tubes of pennies. This represents the best and worst of each tube. Should i have any of this graded? I know that alone can be expensive, but not sure if these would be worth the expense. Thanks
No. If it's worth $200 it can be worth grading. These are worth 1 cent each. If you like them, put them in a 2x2 coin flip and save them. There really aren't any Memorial cents in circulation worth grading, unless you found one that was MS-68 or better. But that's not happening.
I mean there are exceptions maybe a nice mint condition 1960 small date, the rare 1969-S doubled die. A nice 70-S small date AU or better. A very nice error coin, or off metal error. But these are exceptions like I said.
If you have some 1960-D cent you may want to check them for RPM's. http://www.varietyvista.com/02b LC RPMs Vol 2/RPMs 1960D (1-60).htm
