If they are meaningful to you then yes. Slab them to insure they are protected for the next generation of your family to enjoy. If you are grading to sell then no.
Is definitely for family and generations to come. Way too much to learn to even think about selling. I am having the best time with my granddaughter and the coins do we come up with, we want to make sure that the descriptions are correct. And it's thanks to you all for giving us that. And yes I will definitely have to invest in that book thank you so much
Having a coin graded by a good TPG is going to cost you roughly $30-$75 per coin (depends on where you send it, how many coins in the order, how fast you want it, etc. There are lots of variables in the price). It is generally not cost effective to spend the money unless it's worth a min of $100-200. IMO, your coins don't appear to have any significant numismatic value above silver content, so from a financial standpoint, it doesn't make sense. I also think the current holders you have are fine for protecting the coins, so there is no need to send them out. In addition to the grading guide, I strongly recommend buying a Redbook if your don't already have one
Thank you so much! The main thing to me is leaving them things to remember. . Descriptions are amazing whether it is a mint error or not penny that gets scraped up or a quater that gets scraped up if you put the description on that so that they understand. Believe me we Will never keep all that we find, but a couple junk pennies and the description is good. As for the half dollars by no means will it ever pay for their collage, but will remember all they did with grandma. So thank you!
Yep just keep them like you have them in the airtites! No need to do anything other than store them in a Tupperware type container and if you live in a high humidity place put some desicants (is that a word ?) in the container.
Thank you ALL so much for ALL the help means alot. I feel fortunate enough to meet great people who take the time to help.
