<p>[QUOTE="Kirkuleez, post: 1472881, member: 36864"]I would suggest that you learn how to grade before sending the coins in. Open all of the rolls that you have and compare each one to find the nicest one. First find the coins with the least contact marks. Then out of the group with the least contact marks, find the top two coins with the best strike. Next, select the one with the nicest luster. Then compare it to known high grade pieces. This could tell you if you have any that are even close to a MS-67 grade. But even that is not a guarantee that you will get a MS-67 when you submit a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I think that having any modern coin graded is a little crazy. I have a friend that spends thousands every year on grading Roosevelt dimes. Sure he has the number one registry set, but for the money that he spent, he could have a MS Barber quarter collection or MS Morgan collection by now. So I ask, which would you prefer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
