<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 2754296, member: 33176"]Welcome to CoinTalk. What everyone is alluding to here is the fact that "grading" a coin, as most people mean it, refers to sending the coin to a grading service and having it encapsulated in plastic with a professional opinion printed on or in the plastic. Now this is not free, and as [USER=10461]@lordmarcovan[/USER] mentions, the fee for four coins would be at least $100. Now, why do this? In most cases, coins of considerable value can actually gain value upon validation and protection. These coins, while quite attractive, are so common, they have little value, and nothing would be gained by certification. That being said, you might want to keep them free from harm so that in future years they might gain value. Lots of products are out there to keep your coins in, all the way from Rubbermaid tubs to snap-together coin slabs. I would just keep these in a sealed container and add to them as I found nice representative samples of the coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
