    A nice mint set but none of the coins in your thread are worth the grading cost. The war Nickel appears to have a obverse lamination and the dot on the reverse before the FIVE is a die chip. Also looks like a die crack just above and to the left of itcikingboff of the word MONTICELLO. I can't tell but it might also be a stain or dirt.

    My Hobby Lobby has quite an assortment of coin collecting items (Helena, MT) but I think prices are better online unless you can't wait for the item.

    Would it be worth having these graded? No.

    @Michael Jones ...first off, welcome to CoinTalk!…. I’m going to limit my response to the mint set and the ‘43 silver nickel, you’ve posted so many coins now, so it’s hard to respond to all of them...but generally speaking, I agree with the others that your coins appear to be common and therefore not worth sending off for grading. Specifically:

    The ‘60 Mint set is ultra-common, unless you find a special attribution in it. And the nickel fought valiantly in WW2 and circulated for 77 years, its’ wear limiting its’ value...Spark

    I've been buying Morgan and Peace Dollars already slabbed/graded at coin shows and on eBay. I've got to say that I agree with the above comments about there being nothing gained by spending $35 to $50 with postage/insurance to get a relatively inexpensive coin graded by any TPG. I'd be curious if you can find previously slabbed/graded coins that match the date/mint mark of your raw coins on eBay. How much are they selling for there? That answer will help you determine what is "worth sending off for grading" and what is betterr off staying "raw."

    Both stores in my area (Dallas/Plano) have them, albeit, essentially only one bay; but it's impressive given the limitations! I got 2 currency albums there. It's in the section with models, paint/air gun supplies. :happy:

    @Michael Jones ...I speak for everyone here at Coin Talk, we want you to learn to become a better collector/numismatist.

    The more you learn to research and do your own due diligence the better you are. Learn how to search Coin Talk to find the info on the coins you find. Ask questions and we will help you get the right info. Stay away from EBay, YouTube and Etsy as those only sensationalize to promote clicks while neglecting to provide contextual or accurate information. Hope this is helpful to to not only you but also others...Spark

    Ok fellas this one has two faces it could be struck more than twice I apologize for the crapy picks but one thing you can see on them is at where his hair line is letters. Where should I go to figure out this 1996

    That's not a mint set. It's a proof set.
